For me its the android auto compatibility. OSM won’t (and probably shouldnt) jump through the google hoops to do so. It’s at least nice to have a more open option for an otherwise very proprietary ecosystem. Even though organic maps has room to improve

It depends on where you’re at with fitness and health in general. Prioritize being well regardless of feedback here. That includes adequate rest, nutrition, hydration, etc.

For most folks, consistency is by far the most important factor. Stick to a schedule that works for you and do what you can. Maybe set up something like this:

• “the goal”: what you’d like to be able to do

• “the bar”: the minimum that qualifies as a workout for you

Maybe you don’t crush the goal every time, but clearing the bar will go a very long way. Make it accessible! Maybe the goal is a 30 minute run and the bar is a 15 minute walk, for example.

I’ve never heard of that in the states. What region are you referring to? Sounds like an eastern seaboard thing to me.

It’s in the video too! With this level of coverage and functionality it seems like a reasonable goal IMO

Thanks for the share! Pretty encouraging to see so much progress. Alpha in 2026!

Posting your config or snippets of what you’ve tried will be the quickest way to get help.

6 in one, half dozen in the other

Beat me to it 😂

+1 for both comments above.

Back up your current disk! If you do it properly you can always restore your current operating system if this experiment doesn’t pan out.

Fedora KDE is an excellent starter choice. The DE will feel relatively familiar coming from Windows and Fedora is very much a batteries included distro. Red Hat guides are excellent and very useful in that family.

Another one for Tuta, with addy.io as a proxy service. Nice integration with Bitwarden for making new accounts + it’s simple to make rules based on the to address for easy filtering.

Would there be any harm in using this in conjunction with something like Stirling to edit with one and read with the other?

Well y’know, tomato potato

Strongly second this recommendation. One of the biggest benefits of nix is being able to use the package manager on Linux/MacOS. You can quite literally start out by simply porting whole config files into the nix store. Just copy the file into your nix configs repo and have nix create the symlink.

I personally play around with these via imports. Say I want to start configuring Firefox via home-manager. I could start with configuring Firefox manually, then storing my raw /home/luc/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini in my nix store by the method above via a file called firefox-native.nix. Then in firefox.nix I play around with parameters in the nix config. If I hit a wall and don’t have time to figure out the “real” nix configs, I just switch my import over from:

# home.nix
imports = [ ./firefox.nix ]; # the nix way

to:

# home.nix
imports = [ ./firefox-native.nix ]; # fallback - known working native config file

Don’t forget about the Discourse page! I’ve found folks there to be very friendly and helpful.

Other useful tools are: search.nixos.org - for seeing if a package exists. mynixos - for exploring options within a program/service configuration.

Second this! I like the interface. Especially useful for euro banks where you can auto sync.

Nice work! Thanks for putting in this work and self promoting. I hope this continues to grow.

Unbelievable. What would we do? Hand it over to a non-profit akin to the Linux Foundation so we can have a flourishing ecosystem of technologies sharing momentum while branching out into their own flavors and augmentations? All of that, for what! To serve a public good via most common piece of software used on a day to day basis? Madness!

Oh even better! Thanks for the note

Agreed. The only way I see this helping the community is if folks post the outcome of discussions in a searchable way, like on the official Discourse. Most don’t.

If you’re determined to join a group like this, the Nix/NixOS Matrix is a better option since it’s already 4k+ strong.

I’m more of a dust man, myself. It runs recursively so it’s easy to pinpoint the culprit.
