  • NixOS.

    • I have access to more packages than with any other package manager.
    • everything to get my setup in the exact state I want is in my config, which is 90% useable on any other distro thanks to home manager
    • My [config](HTTPS ://www.codeberg.org/termaxima/liquorice) is all in one place and easy to share
    • If I ever break something, I can always roll back
    • I don’t need Docker




  • Universities have not been in the business if monetizing knowledge for decades, if not centuries.

    Knowledge has been easy to access for a LONG time. Universities give you access to a well constructed curriculum, competent teachers, and a certificate you actually learnt the material somewhat decently.

    American universities are too expensive, yes, but American anything means you pay more and you get less, so singling out universities is missing the forest for a tree (even if arguably one of the biggest of those trees)



  • I’ve heard Flatpaks aren’t great at CLI tools, is that true ?

    As a Nix user, I’m glad Flatpaks exist for other people, but I only ever use them when a package is not available from Nix directly. Seeing as Nix is literally the biggest package manager out there, it’s a pretty rare occurrence.
