• be me, week of linoox rabbit hole
• delete windows boot efi, yolo
• juggling cold plunge between nixos and cachyos
• cachyos, the best linux desktop experience has to offer
• not ‘gaming’ but it designed like linux mint on steroids, manjaro or endeavour but polished. minimal but powerful. it done right and better for human first experience. it tackle the absurdness current arch state.
• literally the fastest kernel rn (i look at several benchmark)
• games smoothly, run heavy creative software smoothly, run windows apps smoothly (i try latest clip studio paint with bottles)
• the latest adobe still suck in linux general, only smooth with minimal windows container/virtualization
• nixos give me a whole new dimension
• nixos run everything i wanted after tinkering and try to understand how it works
• not as smooth as native cachyos even though i change the kernel with cachyos. it stutter, which is deal breaker for me
• learn nix package, it awesome
• learn nix lang, it confusing
• you can install flatpak declaratively
• learn about distrobox, linux within linux
• tackle the stiffness of configuration with other container
• many pros and cons
• no matter how i want to break it, it just won’t break the main system, turn out it breaks me instead
• dive into guix in virtual machine,
• nixos but based, too far based.
• scheme language is beautiful, overly underrated
• what hold me back it’s only gnu ‘boomer’ vibes
• heavily influence by lord stallman himself
• there’s nonguix channel for installing non-free software. or you can build from source, or just fetch to different package
• hooked with research in term of usecase, system philosophies, sustainability, have fun with personal computer space
• i suddenly remember when i first time use linux around 2008, booting ubuntu with compact disc, cube desktop animation. then switched full to linux mint in midschool with lenovo s100 netbook. ah nostalgia
• as nerd already use 10+ different os: computers are fun when they work right as intended, not break, run smooth, and be free while dive in, make them to our own style, model, and experience.
• based on current available: i believe the nirvana is between trinity nix & guix & cachy: hackable like guix, huge modularity and package like nix, and huge plus point performance like cachy.
• being politics agnostic, function oriented, unbreaktable tools, integrated with current ai paradigm, fusing into one pragmatic:
• “you can just do the things operating system” <<
• or you can just go back to windows and forget everything what just happen, doing your life and job and be normal humanbeing
