@Telorand@reddthat.com, I second starting out with Home Manager on your current Linux or Mac. It's a great way to learn all about Nix, while keeping the option to move back to a shell that is not managed by Nix and having the option to go back to a shell that is not managed by Nix (I had zsh in Nix, and Bash native) and still being able to boot your pc when you mess up in Nix.

The real advantage, as @BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz said, is in being able to use recent packages on any Linux and MacOS. Home Manager gives you that. I first started with a basic Home Manager config, then learned about the Nix language using some simole puzzles (the first Advent Of Code days), then the module system, finally flakes so I can use packages from 24.11 stable in Home Manager on top of other Linux OSes.

This way I could take it step by step instead of the rocket jump that OP did. Hats off btw @BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz , you provide amazing value with your nixos plan!

It is. Very atmospheric, and I'm sure there's a whole lot more depth to things like combat and crafting if you're interested.

For me it's just an easy and accessible story RPG. The text-based dialogue and turn-based mechanics make it ideal for on the road gaming IMO. You can look up from your screen or suspend and drop the Deck into your bag at any point.

The writing is great and the game feels much, much, much more fluid than the actual old games it is based on. A lot of love and care has been put into this. It's very affordable and the most battery-friendly game I've played. So when you start up your Deck on the train and only have 15% left, this gives you much more enjoyment per battery charge than anything else.

Full disclosure: I happen to know the artist who did the character art.

• Skald: Against the Black Priory
• Mud Runners

Ehh

• They tend to get the sign wrong, or straight up not know it and end every sentence with "or the other way around"
• their room is a mess
• they have a soldering iron and a box full of Arduinos/Rasberry Pis/ESPs
• they have weird hobbies, (or none, because their work is sufficiently shaped like weird hobbies/obsessions)
• they regularly say "local minimum" and "higher order effects" in casual conversation

What did I forget?

Thanks for your feedback, I was guesstimating off the top of my head. On doing some research, I see meat cows are usually slaughtered at 18 months - 2 years old in the Netherlands.

5-6 years is the number I see for dairy cows.

Of course, something that eats cows that eat a shitton of plastic, will have even more plastic in it.

But that doesn't mean that it's healthy to eat an animal that has been fed (assuming they are slaughtered at 3 years, and ignoring the climate impact, the ethics of slaughtering an animal in its youth, etc)..

Last ... holiday season, you gave ... it your all
This year, to save yourself tears, you're thinking of something special.

Instead of that stupid song, right?

If I picked up cats at shelters, fed them, cared for them, with lots of space and toys, and then after a few months slaughtered and ate them, that would be the most ethical meat consumption right? It would certainly be better for the bird population than letting them go to homes that allow them to roam.

So why does it feel wrong to pick up a healthy young animal that trusts you and slit its throat?

I hope you are aware that more than 99% of all animals raised for meat have a very different experience to what I describe, and not in a good way. So even if the slaughter is not an issue, consider their life.

This metaphor is great.

Linux is much better organized than Windows.

Is more prevalent in IT

The general population does not understand it at all (if we exclude Android).

The entire tech sector would collapse if Linux were to disappear.

I would strongly recommend not to dive into NixOS yet.

It has its benefits and I think it's awesome, but it has a bit of a learning curve and you already have plenty of learning to do with going mouseless and the whole interface stuff. You do not want to deal withbreakages in unstable NixOS, or broken Nvidia drivers in stable.

If Bazzite's immutability is holding you back, just switch to another distro you are familiar with: Be that Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE, whatever.

Hyprland is the most complete and configurable tiling window manager today, so definitely start with that. You can install it in any Linux distro.
