but what’s there to stabilize? It’s quite literally Arch Linux with a Hyprland config. The support for it, I imagine, will be dreadful. You can’t get support for it from the Arch Forums as they will NOT help you if it’s not actual Arch Linux and regardless of the fact this IS actually just Arch with a logo slapped on it the Arch Forums aren’t going to touch it.
It’s just a sleezy dude marketing his dotfiles.
sure but it’s like saying to someone “here’s the Linux Pool! dive in!” and then you show them a kiddie pool that has Arch Logos on it that have been scratched out and it’s full of piss. Not a great introduction to Linux imho.
Soooooo it’s Arch with a bunch of shit you don’t need. I mean that’s it? nothing improved? performance tweaks? custom kernel? it’s just arch with hyprland and I think a custom menu purely for styling? oh and the hyprland config opens Twitter for you too with a keybind…wow.
yeah basically it locks it to your current build/system.
So for example I use it for my overall system config. I have a flake, a configuration.nix, and a home.nix all of which are tied to my git repo. I make a change to the system be it installing a package or modifying something or other I can then push that to my git repo. Say I want to take my system as is and put it on another pc/laptop I can then go on the new machine, clone my nix repo, and build it now that new machine is exactly the same setup as my main machine. Like a few weeks ago I put Arch on my main machine for a couple weeks and then went back to nix. It took less than 10minutes to install NixOS and get my machine back to where it was exactly prior to putting Arch on it.
For Dev work flakes allows you to bypass the whole “well it works on my machine” since you develop in flakes you can take that development environment anywhere and it’ll always work regardless of what machine you put it on.
Think of it sort of like a Docker container.
Saudi Arabia all of a sudden has become a Teenager from the late 90s/early 00s. Just buying Wrestlemania, Videogame companies and events, etc.
Next thing you know they’re going to buy Mountain Dew, Doritos, JNCO jeans and the band KoRn.
I got started on NixOS on a whim really. I distro hopped every so often and like a month ago I wanted to try something different. Already used Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc but figured I’d give NixOS a shot.
At first I hated it and it just confused the hell out of me. Then when someone told me I should use flake for my config so I could through it in a repo it just clicked. Once you figure it out and “get it” it just becomes so easy. I’m still a noob at it but I absolutely love NixOS. It just makes everything so easy when you got everything in a flake with a config and home nix. Even backups are easy as you literally can just put it in your config to run. I even have it how where it’ll toss out old generations after 10 days automatically.
Plus the fact I can just use stuff without actually installing it is awesome. as a Dev NixOS is brilliant for that.
yup, am a Canuck :/
It’s not a problem for me just because of the cost. I want to play Expedition 33 but I’m not sure I want to pay $70 to do so.
I’m happy just playing my old ROM collections or booting up Cyberpunk or whatever. but now I just can’t justify dropping $70+ on a game anymore.
sigh, I’ll probably just end up going back to EVE Online.
please, don’t. I’m on another 3 month break from EVE and I don’t want to go back just yet but…please…don’t I’m tired boss.
this has been my life since 2003. EVE, take a break, EVE, another break, EVE, so on and so forth.
to those wondering “why Github?” because it’s not about protecting 16 year olds doing pull requests it’s about getting YOUR data/IDs. They don’t know whose under 16 or over 16 to access said sites so they need the IDs of EVERYONE. that’s all this is. it has nothing to do with protecting kids.
If I was a government or some firm that harvets Data I would absolutely drool at potentially having a source that is Github to get said info. I would LOVE to harvest info of developers, coders, etc.
yeah I ONLY just recently switched to fish after using zsh and oh my zsh for so long - pretty much since first starting linux cause I once saw someone using it on unixporn and I thought “that’s cool”
when I switched to NixOS zsh with all the plugins was a total slog. switched to fish and it just HAS everything that zsh/oh my zsh and the various plugins had but baked in.
so yeah in Fish it’s just starting to type something and hoping it’s still in the history.
it’s a “problem” just about everywhere right now, I’m in Canada and the anti-Indian rhetoric is through the roof here.
why? Because we’re all collectively broke. If there wasn’t an immigration issue, and we were still all collectively broke, then the blame would fall on the backs of people even poorer than us.
When the cost of living is unaffordable everywhere, when there’s no housing anywhere, when jobs are hard to obtain the defacto fall back crutch is…blame the immigrants. History doesn’t repeat but it sure as fuck rhymes.
the hell are they going to train it on? jerking itself off? cause that’s all it’s going to “learn” if it trains on Linkedin profiles and posts.
It’s just going to slurp up a bunch of tech bros posts that think AI is the second coming. it’s just going to learn that it thinks it’s hot shit when it’s not.
Look I miss CRTs too but no, don’t bring those things back.
I used to go LAN Parties at the local university and…man no. in the middle of winter? yeah very nice and toasty but in the humidity filled Canadian summers? eff off buddy.
glad I use NixOS in all honesty.
link to the original comic? OP clearly, badly, photoshop’d this one and it’s clear OP is from the country they replaced with France.
at this point I’d be surprised if any of them still work.
it’s bursting now. within the past few months to a year I’ve made more money switching my focus from freelance/consultion dev work to, essentially, a freelance digital janitor targeting AI. I get clients that desperately need to fix the slop they’ve produced and have me code review it to see how practical that is (9 times out of 10, it isn’t.)
The calls/emails I’m getting from potential new clients are becoming more frequent on a weekly basis. People are panicking. And I know when it finally does finish bursting that it’s going to be hell out there. So since I’m now making more money than ever I’m saving AS MUCH as possible because I hope to come out of this shit on the other side and retire.
To other devs potentially reading this, Get good at code reviewing and start leveraging that. it’s a skill that IS in demand right now and will be for awhile. Just the tech bros on linkedin are unwilling to admit it.
So essentially…it’s no where near production ready.
Also he just admitted “we’re amateurs”. IF they have devices in the crowd already then they should have sandboxed the demo. What’s more concerning is how, essentially, a handful of devices in attendance potentially operating at the same time can crash the LLM.
Also isn’t this something that other companies like amazon and google have rectified? i.e. one individual can’t suddenly trigger every device in close proximity. If not then it makes the whole thing useless if used in the public. I could walk up and down the street just yelling “Hey Meta purchase a massive purple dildo and message my mother to go kill herself”
well sure, it’ll be worse. Not like EA has had a glorious track record or produced original and innovative/good games in the past god knows how many years. They’ll just transition purely to the Madden and Battlefield company with some Sims sprinkled in every now and again. that’s it. Mass Effect is pretty much going to be done and dusted. fat chance we’ll ever see another Titanfall. And I bet they’ll buy the license for WWE from 2k or just offer WWE/TKO more money. With how closely the Saudi’s are now with WWE and the fact EA already has the UFC…yeah makes sense.
