No, it builds on top of nix. But it seems like the only real option for declarative package management.

Nix shell and nix-shell are different commands

Nix run iirc only works with flakes

So does nix shell

Home-manager > nix profile

Also, nix-shell is supposed to be used for debugging, and nix shell/develop for using packages without installing them

Depends on what you do.

If you're just browsing, and doing casual stuff, it's not really noticeable. It's perfect for the less technically oriented because nothing changes for years.

I've been using MX for about a year now, but I definitely wouldn't have without flatpak and nix. I need packages that aren't years out of date, so they're all installed through nix home-manager.

The benefit of this combo is that while user packages might break, the system itself will be predictable for the next few years. That means no new bugs, but also that minor issues won't be solved.

Yeah, who'd hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS

Maybe there's a reason canonical has to force it on their users

No, Debian doesn't take your apt install ... command and install a snap behind your back...

AI is quite fit for the task of understanding

Sure, and parrots are amazing at spotting fallacies like cherry picking...

if there's something that I can adopt as a default goto solution without having to worry about how each system is packaged/configured.

Go is probably your best bet. Simple to use, and you can compile it so it runs everywhere

I don't know enough about Colombia to insult you properly.

Just remember that they fuck donkeys. I think that should be enough

Lucky guy, I ordered it to Germany and they wouldn't let me use the non-eu warehouse (so they can get rid of their overpriced stock I'm guessing)

Stopwatch - can't be minimised, can't see the time while it's open, restarts when you get a notification (the fixes have been sitting in the PRs for years)

Notifications - don't get cleared when you clear them on the phone, clearing them on the watch doesn't close the notifications screen, answering your phone through the watch doesn't dismiss the call notification

Heart rate monitor - essentially useless since it can't take periodic measurements, doesn't work great unless you're wearing the watch on the inside of your hand, but at least they've managed to finally read the sensor docs and program it correctly

Step syncing is a massive pain in the ass and often requires you to "manually" sync them by walking around while keeping both devices active

Battery barely lasts longer than a week even with infrequent wearing (and that's a massive improvement over the previous 3-4 days max)

Lift to wake up usually acts more like shake to wake

The UI is pretty bad overall

There are like 2 half decent watch faces

Horrific weight distribution and the shitty strap make it feel 10x heavier. Like, my automatic is almost 2x its weight and I barely feel it, while this crap is constantly reminding me it's there.

The CPP OS doesn't let you chose what apps to activate nor does it have any way to load your code aside from compiling everything

Updates are only mostly headache free if you use specific PC software. Keyword is mostly, I've had some updates take a bunch of attempts to install.

That's just from the top of my head

I call bs or it was before they started shipping from EU. You literally couldn't order to Europe or EU countries from the other warehouse while they were stocking it.

It's got a lot more issues than that. It's utter trash unless you like want to practice CPP.
