I want to give NixOS a try sometime, as I like the idea of declaritively defining the system

That seems to be even more convoluted and complex.

“Just one more abstraction layer, I swear!”

I’m a NixOS noob bytheway, so please correct me if I’m wrong.

It means it’s great.

The issues I have with these ports:

• They are harder to control if you don’t use a controller.
• Using a controller is cumbersome when you’re not at home
• I don’t know if I can play these ports in 10 years. With a console, I’m pretty sure my PS5 games will work in 10 years because the platform won’t change and the PC is at least an open platform, so there is a chance that older games will still be playable on newer systems. But on iPhone it’s not guaranteed.

Oh yes, won’t miss that.

My arch install is from 2015. It just works, why should I reinstall?

Huh, that was my first thougth. Why is /home/ configured in systemd-tmpfiles? Seems strange for me.

I had the experience recently with two wifi usb sticks. Linux: Work out of the box, no hassle. Windows: One was not supported on Win 11 and caused blue screens, the other only works on USB2 port, not on USB3 and it was a real hassle to finde the right drivers.

That’s why I don’t understand people who say Windows is easier than Linux.

I thought that too. But this is the end of the consoles life and devs now know every trick. Also the areas in the trailer are pretty limited, so it’s a bit less taxing than an open world game for example.

Thanks, that’s much easier to read. :)

The thing with Incus is that you get the image repository and manager and the permissions applied to containers make them isolated and secure environments by default running on another user etc etc

This is really hard to read.

More money.

I just don’t have the technical chops nor spare time to make my OS a hobby.

Windows is not immune to this, I tried to get a few years old wifi stick to work and it was a nightmare with different hardware revisions, old drivers that aren’t included in windows, bluescreens and a difference between using the USB 2 and USB 3 ports. With Linux it just worked out of the box after plugging the stick into the computer.

I can’t get sound to work probably on bookworm with an pretty old (10 yrs) system. It’s so confusing between pipewire, pulseaudio and alsa.

No, as with Microsoft, Users will just suck it up.

He probably made the screenshot himself.

Probably with GPS. Or a combination of GPS and already known Access Points from multiple smartphones.

Daxter on PSP and Diablo IV.

Why have preinstalled apps though?

To make it easier for people.

I feel that:

There are two attitudes on display here which I see in a lot of software folks. First, that CPU speed is infinite and one shouldn’t worry about CPU optimization. And second, that gigantic speedups from hardware should be expected and the only reason hardware engineers wouldn’t achieve them is due to spectacular incompetence, so the slow software should be blamed on hardware engineers, not software engineers.

It’s not only more readable because of the color, they also rearranged everything.
