“And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Microsoft Recall is MANDATORY on Windows 11 in c/technology@hexbear.net

For those like me who are stuck with win 11 on your work computer be aware that KDE makes windows builds for some of their software like the Dolphin file explorer: https://apps.kde.org/dolphin/

It’s not officially supported yet and has some issues but I’ve been using it for a few days now and it’s been quite nice

Some issues I’ve run into are: not being able to open archives into dolphin; issues with not being able to move files to the trash bin (although deleting it works fine)

Also I’m pretty sure that Recall is deep in the kernel so you might not be able to run the explorer shell at all. Unfortunately there really isn’t a good alternative since litestep has been abandoned :(

I don’t think you have a choice in how many cats you own; you’ll wake up one day and they’ll be another one

Yeah, you would think there would have been someone making a Clojure version at least

If anyone is interested here is a wiki with quite a few of the open source Minecraft servers and clients made through the years.

There have been multiple Java based projects throughout the years. The most advanced one that is currently in development is https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom

Been playing around with it a bit, very easy to theme, although I think that creating some sort of icon maker for it would be a good idea.

Are NixOS / Guix SD / Gentoo good choices for development? (hexbear.net)
 

TLDR: is the amount of time used to switch to these distros worth it? (compared to Debian, Fedora, etc.), or is there a better distro that fits my use case?

I have been using Linux for about 4 years now as my daily driver, distro hopping a lot. I have used PopOS (for a few years), Manjaro, Garuda (for a year or so), KDE Neon, Debian, Linux Mint, Nobara (for some months until I ran into system breaking issues), and lastly EndeavourOS.

Issues I have run into in the past are around the different packaging systems and versioning. The Debian/Fedora based ones seem to be fairly slow to update and so they have out of date packages, which sometimes is ok, but sometimes if they are too out of date I have to compile it from scratch. Also the different packaging systems (like apt, pacman, dnf...) means that depending on what flavor I am currently running there may not be a analogous system or maybe a package will be missing and I end up (once again) having to build it from scratch. On the other side I have Arch Linux based ones, which usually works great (especially having access to the AUR) but I end up spending a lot of time configuring stuff that isn't built in (which is by design I know), or having stuff randomly be broken after an update. (which I suppose is my own fault I should have probably set up btrfs or something). Also some libraries will build/work great out of the box on some distros and be completely unusable on others for no apparent reason.

I looked into Gentoo, NixOS, and Guix SD as possible solutions for my issues. Gentoo because since it seems like I have to compile a lot of my libraries anyways maybe I should use a system where you have to compile everything. NixOS and Guix since it seems they are designed for package management and versioning built into the system which might be exactly what I am looking for.

I am worried about the learning curve of all of these. I don't have a lot of time to mess around with configuring stuff all the time. Ideally I'm looking for a distro that works well with my old-ish hardware (with NVIDIA support unfortunately) where I can sit down, program and/or play games on steam+proton; but it seems like I have to choose between "system is stable but packages are old" and "system and libraries are new but is very unstable. Or if I am using snaps or flatpak its "install 5 things and now you are out of memory" (thanks electron).

Also concerned about both NixOS and Guix since they seem to be designed behind "everything goes through the package manager", which is super cool for making it so the environment is the same, but I am concerned about getting stuff to work if a package doesn't exist or if the library is designed to use like 'pip' or 'bun.sh' or some built in package manager.

Any thoughts about this? any non popular distros that might fit my use case? did I give up on some distro too soon? am I just a confused newb?
