  • Its really cool and much more customizable than pinetime, I use android so for example there is a custom version of an app called gadgetbridge that comes with enhanced functionality like an appstore type experience for it.

    software manager settings

    Then you can do the setup on the device to customize even further. Its a lot to explain and too much to show here but its hugely more flexible than pinetime was in my experience.

    I really love NixOS and use it on all my devices. Its not as difficult as people say and it really makes the linux experience a piece of cake once you get it down.

    The single config file to control almost everything is just what I was looking for in linux and the fact that it solved any kind of dependency hell I have experienced in the past is huge. If I had to list a top 3 it would be NixOS, Fedora, and Arch.


  • As far as I was aware AMDGPU is used by default on most if not all distros so I still think its a bit confusing to decide which to use for your needs at first unless you check the video I linked. I noticed a performance increase after forcing RADV on NixOS so not really sure.

    Sidenote why cant AMDGPU and RADV combine their efforts to simplify and rename AMDGPU-PRO to AMDGPU-unfree because that itself is confusing since most people will be drawn to use the PRO version without realising the worse performance.





  • I had no idea this was a nonprofit. Been using it as a reference since the split from privacytools and I always thought it was just a simple website maintained by some smart people in the industry being helpful. Like a wiki.

    Not sure how to feel about the sudden push for content creation and journalism when there are other more established people doing that. They shouldnt be hiring for these random waste of money positions if they are also asking for donations. Seems like a classic overextension of a basic idea to make a nonprofit somehow profitable. Maybe im flat out wrong but it seems unnecessary.
