IIRC that's the whole point of flatpak, snap and appimage

Docker can probably do it too, distrobox puts a useful wrapper on that

Nix does that kind of, nix packages aren't isolated in that they can't access resources on your system but all dependencies are stored in the nix store, hashed and isolated from eachother, and wiped when you collect garbage

I would say his free will is not restricted

His decision making options are restricted but those decisions are just as much a product of his past as the ones we make out of prison, he's still acting entirely based on external and internal forces

I'll put it this way, if you were to make an exact copy of our universe at this moment and watch both of them play out, he'd almost certainly make the exact same decision both times, same applies to someone out of prison

My point isn't that people don't practically have agency in the decisions they make, because they obviously do. We just don't know all the forces that influence that decision and it's not useful to think about that, so we call it free will

Met a few people like that, can literally talk to them for hours without getting bored

So far all of those people are either dudes or taken though lol

I think free will as a concept is kinda stupid I've yet to talk to anyone who can actually give it a solid definition that isn't something like "it means we can do what we want"

Either your decision is based on your personality, meaning it's not free it's a set calculation based on genetics and accumulated experience or it's completely random meaning it's not will at all

I currently feel like my nervous system is vibrating having just got out of the gym after preworkout

Is it that bad? I had thought the buildings would have mostly survived given the city was built to withstand them and that it was just too dangerous for people

How do you recover from that? Does insurance cover it?

That kinda thing is a sliding scale for everyone, if my Linux machine wasn't 90% as reliable and usable as when I was on windows I would probably still be using windows

Nvidia drivers. You beat it by ripping out your GPU and casting it into a volcano

Discord is fine, it's not great but it's way better than it could be and it's got a huge community

Convincing people to switch to your communication app of choice is a fool's errand

Nothing wrong with swearing in general, but you're using it in a needlessly hostile way

My point is that the arch community in general is very hostile to new and non technical users, I don't think many would disagree

Also, why still use a windows PC? Unless you play valorant, Fortnite etc proton is 99% there imo, haven't had a windows machine in a year or so and I very rarely have any issues

I have two Linux machines with Microsoft edge and teams installed so that's how that's going
