As of the latest release (21), you can simply install microG on regular LOS and no longer need to install LineageOS for microG since it now includes the necessary signature spoofing support.

Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian (stable) -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

I’m curious, why do you use LVM with BTRFS and not just use BTRFS built in subvolumes?

btrfs snapshots are still useful on immutable distros to recover accidentally deleted data.

I have been reading about this since the news broke and still can’t fully wrap my head around how it works. What an impressive level of sophistication.

HP = Has Problems

It’s a real shame that Nautilus doesn’t have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.

What a great looking release. I’m most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!

Probably using ddcutil. There is a popular gnome extension for the same thing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2645/brightness-control-using-ddcutil

I also settled on NixOS after Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian -> Fedora -> Silverblue -> NixOS. Couldn’t be happier and no plans to leave.

Its referencing how much she uses her private jet.

Agreed. I used to use Silverblue and it was very stable but did not solve all the problems that Nix addresses. Once you experience the first reinstall with NixOS you will wonder why we did things any other way. It’s amazing to just run one command and have things set up exactly how you like.

Framework. I’ve run Debian, Fedora and for a while now NixOS, all of which have worked flawlessly.

I did have to replace the heatsink/fan part on mine because the fan bearing started clicking, but I’m sure that was just a first generation product issue (I was one of the first batches). I was glad to be able to do the replacement myself at relatively low cost and the process couldn’t have been easier (took about 30 minutes).

My previous machine was a 2013-ish ThinkPad X series and the Framework absolutely blows it out of the water. I’m looking forward to upgrading mine to a Ryzen motherboard sometime in the not so distant future.

Self hosted invidious is really underrated, it even works with the Sponsorblock plugin.

Continued increase in Nix adoption. It seems like 2023 saw a real shift in favour of immutable solutions in general and Nix in particular.

How is hardware support these days on OnePlus 6? I’m close to buying one for Linux but keep waiting thinking that a newer alternative might appear.
