    • Food item: Nix Flakes (rare)

      • +10 health per flake

      • + Contains a large amount of packages when combined with Nixpkgs (uncommon)

      • + Reproducible: farm it yourself!

      • - Each flake takes between 5 seconds and 2 hours to compile and take effect

      • - Requires good internet connection

      • - Significantly slows down NixOS dotfile spells.

    • Weapon: Neovim Lua Gun (uncommon)

      • +144 damage

      • + Rewrite config files

      • - Can only activate weapon once. Afterwards, you’re stuck using it forever.

      • - Requires XP level 1337 to be used efficiently

    • Weapon: NixOS USB (uncommon)

      • + Makes computer unusable for any sane person

      • + Reproducible: install any system you want and then replace it with another one for fun

      • - Most people in Linuxia are not sane so this weapon is rarely effective

    • Spell: NixOS dotfiles (rare)

      • rm -rf ./.git: self-destruct: deals +infinity damage to the user, +169 damage to nearby enemies.

      • cat flake.nix: Ejects what is effectively a zip bomb. Cannot be used twice against the same enemy. Deals +196 damage to nearby enemies.

      • nixos-rebuild ...: Refreshes stamina, +5 health to the user. If used incorrectly, will cause a random negative effect, but never fatal. Requires waiting for 15 seconds, unless Nix Flakes were recently used, then it requires at least 2 hours of waiting.

    • Armor: SDDM (common)

      • +40 charisma

      • +20 defense

      • +10 health

      • - Buggy sometimes

    • Accessory: Waybar Crown (uncommon)

      • +120 charisma

      • +5 health

      • + People will ask you for your dotfiles

    Edit: fixed formatting

    Edit 2: slightly cooler names and abilities





  • Yeah, I think I might also switch from Hyprland to something like SwayFX or Plasma 6 (with Polonium for tiling, I heard it’s gotten better).

    edit: welp, the background is black, system settings crashes and i have searched and searched for what this issue could be but i’m too lazy to make an actual support ticket so i’m complaining on lemmy instead.

    thankfully i made a separate git branch in my config for plasma, i’ll use hyprland until i figure out how to get plasma to work properly. then i’ll configure it, if i don’t like plasma i might go back to swayfx as i said previously in my comment.


  • (notice: I am not a Rust or C/C++ expert)

    Doing all that is creating a completely separate programming language from C. Rust is that programming language.

    Fix shitty imports

    Rust does that with modules and crates.

    Improve syntax rule

    You mean having consistent/universal style guidelines? Rust pretty much has that with rustfmt.

    Improve memory management

    Safe Rust is memory safe (using things like the borrow checker), and Unsafe Rust is (usually?) separated using the unsafe keyword.

    Although Unsafe Rust seems to be quite a mess, idk haven’t tried it

    Other new misc features

    Rust has macros, iterators, lambdas, etc. C doesn’t have those. C++ probably has those but in a really weird C++ way.
