I prefer Quod Libet but I have fond memories of rhythmbox.

whipper is my goto for that.

“Without further due”…

… yeah …

NixOS is not special there. It runs the same software as any other Linux distro.

Sure. And this is why we have measles outbreaks still today.

Not talking about viruses despite the vaccine comparison.

Software has vulnerabilities, even on NixOS.

It’s not just your decision though. Like vaccinations, your decision affects everyone else so it’s not your decision alone.

See? They forced you to upgrade to Linux, now you’re more secure!

Forcing upgrades at Microsoft’s convenience.

This is the only one I agree with. Upgrades are necessary for security, it’s just a fact of life.

Ignore anyone who says anything about a “gaming” distro. There is literally no performance difference.

I’ve never heard of anyone suggest a gaming-focused distro for performance reasons.

It’s always for compatibility and shit-just-works reasons. And that is wildly different between distros.

There’s nothing especially gaming-focused with bazzite that would interfere with general PC usage. I think it’s a great choice for “25% gaming”.

The only thing is that there’s not a lot of distro-specific guidance out there, and the immutable concept is a bit new and unusual.

Yes but no. Some folks are purists and feel that the actual code must derive from the original BSD/SysV code.

Doubt it, they were more likely using md5sum files in 1999.

You’re the one who brought up the origin of the term, why would you do that if you’re wanting to refer to the contemporary meaning?

I find them okay, but I am much more concerned with consistent fonts than with a variety of decorative fonts.

The default fonts feel very old-fashioned though.

Moving this to a top-level comment.

Overleaf is fantastic, as long as you are okay with non-WYSIWYG document editing and learning some LaTeX.

Typst is also worth looking at, as a similar concept. It uses a very different language than LaTeX, but feels more in touch with modern sensibilities.

I’m not a huge fan of Google as a company, but Google Docs seems to be the first and only one that actually put some new thought into how to organize their toolbar, so that’s my go-to.

Edit: thinking a little further, my other go-tos are Overleaf or Typst. Those do require that you be okay with a non-wysiwyg editor of course, but they are excellent.

As long as you’re okay with an interface that slavishly clones the terrible MS-Word ribbon bar.

System76 sells desktops too. Not sure about Tuxedo.

I think they mean “smart” as in “smart tv” i.e. spyware (at best)
