As someone currently deep into Nix (even contributed to nixpkgs), I’m currently in the process of migrating away and am planning on just running good old Debian stable with docker compose for my home server. I wouldn’t waste your time learning Nix, it isn’t a transferable skill and totally locks you into the ecosystem.

Yes, if anything it seems easier to handle on linux. Just bake golden images that already have a static list of required packages.

I’m a little surprised that they are planning on testing downstream distros like bazzite. It would make more sense to just stick to the biggest upstream distros like Arch/Debian/Fedora for benchmark purposes in my opinion.

Integrated brightness control for multiple monitors is awesome!

I don’t think its worth trying to repair the US relationship until they demonstrate the ability to go through at least a few sane presidents. Even if they manage to rid themselves of Trump and seem to be returning to sanity, they will probably just elect another lunatic again.

Incredible energy at 91 y/o!
