I don't really associate them with child predators, but I personally find them staches ugly AF. But I'm just a millenial, so you do you.

GPU acceleration

All the needed AMD stuff is pretty well documented in the manual. I'm gaming on NixOS with even my "relatively old" AMD GPU.

nixgl

The only time I heard about needing that was when using plain "nix" (not NixOS), as in using Nix under any other OS, to run graphical applications. I haven't touched nixgl at all, and don't see the need for it.

alacritty and kitty

Literally my terminals (kitty is my main) + foot. Both working easily either under main NixOS config or Home-Manager. What's supposed to not be working there?

Literally don't know what your problems are/where they lie. I'm a Linux noob (don't even have the patience for Arch Wiki + install), coming from Pop_OS to NixOS and I'm happy it's all so easy. I've installed it on my main PC and two separate laptops and so happy to just share (basically) the same config on all of them.

I love NixOS! Been using it on all my devices since January and probably never going back :)

It all sinply just works™! Don't worry about configuration :) As long as you're not using relatively obscure software, you'll be more than fine reading the docs/manual :)

If you still want to use obsure stuff though, the community on matrix is very active and helpful! Plus most (interesting) projects have at least one or two very dedicated Nix fanatics (/maintainers) willing to help others :D

Where am I to do unholy things now behind my partner's back?

I'm more of a bottom, if you know what I mean.

I'm doing Game Dev with Rust (Godot + gdext in my case). Sadly it's just hobby projects, but would love to actually use rust (at all) at work.

I choose Rust over other languages (C#, Python, GDScript, C++, etc), because I enjoy writing in Rust.

I love that it's so concise and easy to read, while providing super useful errors at compile time, and great auto-completion thanks to the rust-analyzer. Despite it being a much more complicated languages than almost even C++, it provides so much useful information when writing/compiling, that running can be mostly taken for granted (but shouldn't of course).

I don't need to worry about types or pointers, but rather about writing what I want in Rust, which is simply too much fun.

Try Typst! It's quite awesome! I wrote my thesis with it :)

UK layout is the GOAT. It isn't that much different from US layout at first, but there are so many more special characters readily available. Particularly useful for multiple languages like Spanish, German, Swedish, etc.

Yeah, it really isn't for everyone. The advantagees it provides is mostly for developers and companies. If you're a company, managing a NixOS fork is useful, so all users of the system are on the same page always.

Otherwise the package manager itself can be used on its own. It's neat being able to use packages from basically any distro without even needing to use a VM.

Nix is daunting indeed, but cool for those who want such tooling

I'd recommend https://typst.app/. Super easy to structure text like LaTeX and 100 times easier to use :)

Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it's mostly:

• Bibliography sorting
• Spellchecking
• Syntax highlighting for lesser known programming languages like GDScript

Otherwise I don't really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don't even get me started on Word).

Typst is awesome and sooo fast! I literally ported my thesis mid-way to it and haven't looked back since. Love it all the way.
