Another for Mull and Cromite, here. I don't really use Mull unless I'm looking for absolute compatibility with things like web games.

I went from Arch to NixOS and I've been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it's just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you're comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I'm not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)

To me that sounds an awful lot like TikTok being closer to good old American media than some Chinese psyop.

I was simulation-pilled in college, so that adds up.

I, for one, only want domestic adversaries abusing my personal information. Actual rocks and fence posts are smarter than this.

If you like obsidian, synching works well to at least selfhost your data.

Why-depends can help you out. https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-why-depends.html

I don't remember if you can use it directly on a derivation or not, so you might have to track down the relevant package.

Edit: forgot to mention you can give it /run/current-system for the first argument to only see what's currently loaded from the store.

I have also been searching for a microblogging instance that doesn't have so many random blocks. It seems most instances block more liberally than even the more closed off Lemmy instances. Due to the sheer size of mastodon and number of other services, it kind of makes sense. I'm definitely getting paralysis-by-analysis trying to choose, though. ~~It might help to consider newer forks like iceshrimp and sharkey, too, even just for their functionality. Or maybe that will make choosing harder? Lol~~ *you already mentioned forks, my mistake!

But still, like I said, I haven't landed on anything in particular. It just seems more segmented, whereas with Lemmy, the biggest instances have pretty much identical front pages. I fear missing out on something too much...

Sorry if I'm kind of rambling and not really any help. Your post just reflected my experience of trying to find something. Hopefully we'll get there!

This makes me feel things. Incredible.

Naughties is British/Australian for aughts or '00-'09. And then I think boomer refers to "boomer shooter"? Or just the fact that zoomers call (older) millennials boomers.

This or at least something self-custodial. Anything with Blockchain is inherently public, but the problem with centralized exchanges is that they hold the tokens for you (or worse, Contract For Difference), and really only have a fraction of the true capital to unwind if shit hits the fan.
