personally I like Arch first and foremost because I can (and do) have a local repo by rsyncing a rotation of mirrors couple of times a week.

Are these mirrors for prebuilt packages? If not, you should be able to pull from other channels, create your own channel and include all your packages while building them locally.

Also, welcome to Guix System Distribution, I hope you stick around

Let’s say I’m working on a project that requires Go, Node, maybe some C library, and GNU Make. Seems like I would be able to use guix shell for this, right? Great.

Iirc guix shell is for one off package or programs you want to test, say you want to quickly format a drive to exfat or so, when you exit the sub-shell, the installed packages are discarded

guix shell containers would work best for your scenario but I have little experience with them

Size and gnome/GTK dependencies are main reasons why I don’t use Flatpaks (I have nothing against gnome though, it just pulls in too much and KDE is worse in this regards, which is why I use Sway and River)

I’m just seeing your comment after I recommended Guix, that I could read and understand Guile Scheme is what made me hop away from NixOS, the nixlang is an ungrokable mess

I absolutely hate the language

Check out Guix_System_Distribution, it’s just like NixOS but uses a Scheme dialect which is a better language.

So, Linux doesn’t have a general icon and ChromeOS’s icon isn’t used, what could be an ideal icon/logo for the Linux Kernel, I wonder?

WhatsApp recently pulled support for some older iOS versions and devices, a lot of ppl threw them away and got Androids instead(as they should), I wonder if that’s related to iOS’s decrease.

Please do so, it’ll be very useful

that Wayland’s design does make it more difficult for a user-mode program to act maliciously,

Sorry, can you tell me more about this?

Me too

Zed is the goat

online I still prefer to use a language that almost everyone speaks
