Pure copium.

They are both handheld gaming devices. Consumers do not care about anything else, just wait until the xbox handheld eats even more of those sales.

Lol what comical copium.

They are both handheld gaming devices. To claim otherwise is nothing more than an ideological feature that only matters to 2% of thr market.

Had a subscription, unsubscribed 6 months ago. Simplistically:

1. They create bad code,
2. You stop learnng. You want to program? Learn.

Jesus why did discord ever get popular in the first place.

Because its more than a bunch of posts, its voice comms and thats more useful. So find a platform that does both and maybe people change, maybe. More likely we will have to wait for IPO and enshitification before that happens.

Performance is utterly trash atm until you win matches at which point your shifted to priority servers. It still suffers from incredible amount of cheaters tho

When you start eluding towards banning democratic parties, you lose all credibility

Foreign anti-interference laws address your first point. If they arent effective, thats easily resolved in parliment.

Don’t conflate foreign interest with genuine opposition, I would be very surprised if there wasnt any. This is the Democratic system working. The hubris of the left is suicidal.

Ruling out foreign interference like astroturfing, genuine Opposition doesn’t come from no where, it comes from suffering in most cases. Failure of elected governments to reflect on their own failure breeds it.

Keep in mind the agency is run by the Government for the Government of the day with people appointed by the Government.They are far from free of their own political agenda.

Under his watch they did form the anti-opensource and EEE mantra

Would also save the EU an enormous amount in monitoring and enforcement

Thanks. Nix made me a convert back from Windows. Microsoft doesn’t innovate anymore like they used to. iMO the origional concepts that sparked nix and now others like it has been a breath of fresh air into a stagnated critical cornerstone of the industry. Imagine being able to install every version of a dependancy like say .net thats ever been released without it causing a problem.

Install is imo better than even Windows, install from media, highly recommend kde plasma or gnome on your first round, but hey its nix, sky is the limit. Hardware will autodetect so long as you dont have anything out of ordinary.

Config once cry once cant be over stated enough how good it is. As for your concern about changes its really simple. Make the change, run the update command from terminal, reboot and if it fails (rare) juat reboot again and select your previous config, it keeps as many configs as you want to. I now only maintain the last 5 and run a cleanup confidently.

To update to the latest versions of apps and os its one command in terminal and nix checks your config for errors before updating. Some people run bleeding edge versions & update daily getting nightly apps, OS, and kernel even without issue. I sit on unstable, silly name, its stable as all hell, you just get the latest releases and features.

My worst experience was moving to home manager, but it was well worth it. The error nix presented was meaningless, the real error was just buried and I had to use journald to find the meaningful error.

What ever distro you use enjoy the freedom! Mint is great, Nix is great!

Timeshift is a life saver but its still experimenting in the dark. Id rather not spend my life tinkering all the time. Office suite is an app & 1 word in a config.

Mint is great for non technical people, but if you have the skill and crave more the innovation that nix introduced is singular.

I made it very clear about the barrier to entry for nix and frankly I don’t think you give OP enough credit. They sound quite capable already familiar with mint

Mint is amazing and frankly if its working for you then I think you’ve found it. I stayed on mint for a long time until I relented to a nagging friend and tried out NIxOS and was amazed. If you have the technical skills and feel confident to push through the inital difficulty its well well worth it.

So whats the good?

1. Reproducibility. Ever been annoyed that someone cant help you because they either dont have the time or just cant reproduce the problem? Its no longer an issue. Dependancy is managed by design so configuration and state is transferable with as little as only two files.
2. Declarative. Best way to decibe this is all the benefits of Arch and zero of the problems. Declare your configuration in a file and then have a life. Ive never saved so much time before with any distro. Imaging installing windows, configuring the OS, installing apps, configuring them only once, ever, never having to do that again. Reinstalls go straight back to the way you like it.
3. Reliable. Ive never had a linux distro so stable. The risk and pain of change is a thing of the past.
4. Largest and most up to date repo. Its simply unmatched.
5. The list goes on to other areas like security, scalability and much more but lets leave it there.

Whats the bad?

1. Difficulty of entry. You need to have basic understanding on writting basic code to some degree as you define your config as a simple text file. I recommend vimjoyer on youtube he has some great simple intro videos that will help here.
2. Using apps not in the repo. You will need to step up your config skills here to install that weird app you want. That is only unless you cant wait. If you have time the community is fantastic, a quick app request on the repo has a great chance of being picked up by some legend and added to the repo officially.
3. The wiki, its no Arch wiki, thankfully you dont really need it. The community maintains a bunch of configs for hardware and apps on the repo which is weirdly not advertised half as much as it should be. Alternatively just search github for configs from other nixians.

Laughs in nix

Shorts over the last month would have been profitable

You are correct, it absolutely will, its the cost of unrestricted spending and valueless trade currency. When the USD disappears all would feel it but the US would shrink and feel it generations its so debted

when the over extended USD crashes offer up the EU and move on while US sinks into a generational depression from the interest alone.

TLDR positive trade and international allies matter. Isolationism ends with one outcome.

Its no different to the console market. Essentially a duopoly
