I do overlays of software to patch it all the time. Eventually I'll package it, but it needs upstream fixes, so I'll try to package my own fork

That's why I'm on it :^)

I'm already using NixOS, which is even more powerful since it can configure my software as well as my system

Personally, I'm looking for reproducible environments where if you create a lock file of your packages, you will get the exact same system on another machine if you copy it over

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.

Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.

I'm a fan of Framework laptops. They have given people the option to upgrade several motherboards by Intel and released an AMD version to boot. I don't think there's ever been a manufacturer that offered three generations of motherboards on the same chassis. The swappable ports are kind of neat, you can choose which ones you want to use

The 13" is already on sale with a 16" coming later this year

I've started using Mastodon after the Twitter changes, Lemmy after the Reddit changes, I don't think any website is irreplaceable
