What fight? Don’t delude yourselves. Trump is doing whatever he wants and Democrats are just letting it happen. Don’t hold it against the rest of the world for noting this.

Why do you think blue states deserve a pass? All of you are Americans, all of you have a part in what’s happened. Is this not what democracy means?

Glad to see this on HN. This Canadian is doing something similar. In fact, anything I do that involves sending money to the USA, I am re-evaluating.

I really wish this was not the top comment on HN. It’s a cool project! Maybe try it??! Or just be silent!

Can’t say I blame him, given the tone of some of the convos on the discourse site.

Very true.

I like the friction aspect to some extent because I think keeping the base system pure confers many benefits. But you’re right. Bazzite imposes a certain workflow. For installing new software …

1) try ujust first (since there is some porcelain provided for some things that can be challenging to install properly on immutable distros, such as Steam or DaVinci Resolve)

2) if that doesn’t work, try flatpaks from Bazaar/Flathub

3) if that doesn’t work, use Homebrew which installs into your home dir by default

4) use rpm-ostree as a last resort.

Functionally I find this has driven me towards a very devcontainer-centric setup. Of course in theory Nix can do better, but in practice I’ve found the combo Bazzite offers, not to mention the excellent hardware support, hits the sweet spot for me.

I suggest giving Bazzite a try

Ha that is very funny. I also started thinking about Gentoo a lot as well which was a sanity check moment … “even Gentoo was easier than this” etc.

This resonates with me as well. I was really into using Nix for awhile but it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth for a solo dev.

Why is the Nix community such a dumpster fire?
