Not on steam, but PokéRouge is my current addiction

If you want to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without all these weird defaults: Try Gecko Linux.

Both. I have to use windows at work and I hate it.

I did a little bit of distro hopping: Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch, Guix. Now I think I finally arrived at Tumbleweed, no need to hop somewhere else so far.

But I really like the concept behind Guix, it’s just not finished enough.

I’m studying nano science right now, I think it still exists. And if it does it’s still a super amazing thing.

Miscarriage

They are exasperated that we use computer mice.

So they use Tiling window managers and vim-keys? The future is bright!

Yes

• GeoWizard: Maybe famous for his Geoguessr content, but he also makes really fun “Missions”, where he for example crosses a country in a completely straight line.
• Small brained american: travel blogger, funny and still meaningful. He even goes to places like Ukraine and Iraq.

But he said it does exactly what you need?

I really liked “small brained american” travelling from Ireland to Japan (on a motorcycle). It starts slow and kind of boring in the UK but the later parts are so good. Less commentary, just showing life. He is visiting “dangerous” countries like Ukraine, Iraq and Myanmar, but focussing on the normal people’s everyday lifes, while being a “small brained american”.

Suddenly they all make 99.999 billion…

I can not find that movie. Did you spell it correctly?

If you know where to look you can get a high end bike that was unfinished at the factory and didn’t get painted/stickered/branded and pay a fraction of the price.

Can you tell me where that is?

Yes, that’s true. You lose reproducibility by using distrobox. But so far I did not need distrobox on my Guix laptop, the nonguix repo was enough. It was just a suggestion for somebody caring more about availability of packages than reproducibility to use Guix as the stable base and distrobox on top.

So far I had not much time, but I tried and failed with different errors when trying to pull an image regarding policy.json. do you use docker or podman?

Maybe use btrfs, which has reduplication and compression capabilities. I never tried it in Guix but it’s like magic.

This looks like a problem with the image. But I can try as soon as I am back home.

That’s what I mean with distrobox. You decide to run distribution A. Later you realize a package(program) is not available in A but in distribution B. So you run distrobox and have B on top of A. And access to all the packages.

Whenever somebody recommends NixOS, I just want to spam the comments with Guix. I prefer configs I can understand, and I think lisp makes that easier. Other than syntax, the only thing I see is people complaining about the free-oftware-only. But the recently hyped distrobox solves that (together with the nonguix repo). Yet nobody recommends guix in all these “immutable” distro threads.

In my opinion Guix is the best mix of:

• Arch (rolling release),

• NixOS (“immutable”, atomic updates , rollback, reproducible, declarative configs)

• Gentoo (source code based, write your own package definitions for any source code you find),

with some lispy syntax.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. A scientist is on a mission to save the world. The science stuff is accurate and easy to understand in my opinion (but I’m a physicist, lol).

The author also wrote the Martian, that was adapted as a movie, you probably know it.

My colleague recommends it to everyone, and she reads a lot. I read a little and also liked it. Not only because of the science, but also because of the story.
