Looks amazing, especially adaptive Firefox and GTK.

Looks interesting, but I would've really liked some gameplay. From what's being shown here and on gematsu it somehow looks like a mixture between Observer and Bioshock (only universe, not really gameplay).

Pretty much, yes. Although most of the guides install nix via curl. You can find the recommended installation procedure on the official nix website.

What I'm right now also realizing is that i switched things up. nix-shell -p curl creates a shell with the curl command temporarily available. If you exit this shell it's gone. I use this all the time if if i don't want to pollute my system with programs I only use once. If you want to permanently install something you have to use nix-env -iA nixpkgs.curl. But don't take my words for granted, since I have never tested this on a non-nixos machine.

Note: You can also see how to install something by clicking on the package title in the nixpkgs repo.

Nixpkgs can be used without knowing anything about nix. You can install almost anything by just running e.g.:

nix-shell -p cowsay

The requirement for that is the nix package manager but that should be easy to install. But yeah getting into Nixos with flakes and all that stuff can be hard.

Lidarr + Navidrome works flawlessly for me. Navidrome also fetches data from LastFM, such as tending songs and artist info

Right now Debian, but I'll migrate to NixOS pretty soon since it's already running on all of my machines except this server.

I followed this guide from VimJoyer and it works like a charm. Have been using this approach for quite a while now. It just uses raw nix with homemanager

Piped always proxies. That's also why it's really unreliable every now and then. Google has already blocked some proxy servers

You can create a Duolingo class which you can then join yourself. This gets you unlimited hearts and no further ads on the mobile version (at least from my experience). Creating a class has no prerequisites so just try it out. If you still want to be able to view the public leaderboard there's a setting for that in the classroom settings, but it's disabled by default.

Edit: I'm not sure if there are any other ads besides the premium and family ones, I'm running PiHole so your mileage may vary. I'm only talking about those 2 which PiHole cannot block.

And Guild Wars 2 is nowadays also on Steam, making it even easier to get into it. Note for anyone who previously played GW2 before it came to Steam: You can also use the Steam version if you add "-provider Portal" as a launch parameter.

You can also do it with the normal settings menu (about:preferences). The setting is called "Enable Firefox Sync" under the tab "LibreWolf". Might be a bit easier this way.
