clemdemort@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend?13·1 year agoMint, it’s not the shiniest toy but it really does just work
Great I’m very happy for you! :)
Linux mint just works this is good advice :)
MacOS > Linux ?
Honestly I’m not too sure, some distros (like debian) are much more stable IMO. We also have immutables distros which are more annoying to work with but hey let’s compare apples to apples here.
It’s free, no ads, and cool communities.
I think the only thing missing is creepy pastas
It’s the easiest solution to packaging software for Linux that doesn’t mean it’s good, In fact fhe way no dependencies are shared absolutely wrecks my hard drive and makes everything super long (downloading, updating, etc…).
Where it shines is security but to be honest do you really need an open source app to be in it’s own secure sandbox?
I vastly prefer nix and I wish packaging stuff for it was easier.
Lol this ^
Longest I ever kept a sponge for was four months it was a “I’ll do it later” kind of thing, the green scrubbing part had nearly fully been removed lol.
Yeah, except I’m 20 :/

I was not expecting three characters from firefly, that show is still popular it blows my mind!
clemdemort@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system?1·1 year agoIt’s dystopian as can be, the health care system in my country was one of the best in the world but has taken a major hit recently because of stupid ass politicians. Still it’s miles better than in the US and if I’m ill I just go to a doctor I don’t think twice about it.
you have to set up the
XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variable to take into account~/.nix-profile/share
the desktop icons will only appear after a relogin though.
From what I gather it goes something like this:
- every package is assigned a hash
- every package lists their dependencies through their hashes
- different versions of packages have different hashes
- when you launch an application it creates an environment with all its dependencies, this means that two applications that both use the same library at the same version share that library. However if they both require the same lib but not the same version of that lib they don’t share it.
Which solves DLL hell as far as i understand it.
Well the issue for me is internet speed, yesterday night I had to leave my pc on for two hours to update my flatpaks, I don’t even have that many of them, but the updates were mostly drivers and runtimes.
Could you elaborate? I was under the impression that NixPkgs stored the hash of their dependencies and when launched create an environment to use them, this way two apps can share the same library when the version is the same.
The site is a hell hole but tbh the trans community there is decently big
