export PATH=$PATH:/mypath1:/mypath2 in ~/.profile. Means “add :/mypath1:/mypath2 to what is already in $PATH.” If you need the entire system to be aware, set or update it in /etc/environment with PATH=...

Absolutely. The only difference is that the benefits aren’t imaginary, they are quite tangible.

For your use case, consider it to be a packaging format (like AppImage, Flatpak, Deb, RPM, etc.) that includes all the dependencies (including services, not just libraries) for the app in question.

Should I change this?

If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

Use Podman (my preferred - the SystemD approach is awesome), containerd, or Incus. Docker is a graveyard of half-finished pet projects that have no reason for existing. Podman has a Docker-compatible socket, so 100% of Docker tooling will work with it.

The language itself has no type enforcement, the type checking is implemented within nixpkgs. This might seem like pedantry, but it really matters for things like LSPs (text editor autocomplete). I think that’s what scares some people off: it’s like OG Minecraft, you need to have the wiki/search.nixos.org open while you are doing your editing.

That being said, the type checking goes much deeper than what the windows registry does - e.g. it won’t allow you to enable conflicting services - like grub and systemd-boot - at the same time.

Apparently the upgrade (including configuration) is incredibly smooth. Those interested in tinkering with the vanilla experience have had to install it in a VM.

Nah, it’s just Linus. I have endless time for people who want to learn. Linus doesn’t want to learn, he wants to be right.

I’m 110% with you here. Debian have make it much more difficult to break your system, so it should be stack sponge proof going forward. I still wouldn’t put it past Linus to fuck it up some other way (you know, maybe he’ll curl HTML into bash instead of a script), and he’ll still stand his ground and blame the world. And then later give one of his non-apology apologies.

I used to be a huge fan.

There’s a difference between “can” and “want.” For example, OP might have been planning to watch his home vids with your mom, but couldn’t due to a rolling update.

Linus is dunning-kruger crystallized and refined. He routinely talks authoritatively about subjects he knows little about. His qubit analogy is particularly wrong and annoying, and he doesn’t stop bringing it up.

Either way, more idiot filters have been installed in front of that and you’ll have to do way more work (likely learning something in the process) to fuck your system up like that.

It does. I have it enabled and tested. “Client Device Isolation.” It’s enabled per SSID.

Ooh I like the idea of “no Internet.” I do trust all of those devices (open source), but they could still be pwned.

I had to fix an issue on my wife’s laptop. If you haven’t used it in a while, do yourself a favor and try it. It’s far worse than you think.

Indeed. UKIs are the way.

Instantly refunded when I entered a queue.

Grubby is a good example of someone who was recently reformed. In one of his early Dota 2 videos (some time last year), he admitted that he didn’t know that games outside of Blizzard had gotten so good - he actually only played Blizzard games and nothing else. It’s been pretty wholesome watching someone learn the wider gaming world.

You’re being down voted because Apple supporting old hardware is the only thing that Apple is good about. Would have done well in almost any other thread.

I love it enough to donate. Forego is an awesome project.

This kind of gatekeeping is what scares people off.

Probably less resource intensive: https://conduit.rs/.
