Done.

I once used CryptPad Form as well, it’s pretty cool.

KDE is the best desktop environment. KDE is proof GNOME is a fricking hot garbage

Why didn’t you install Arch OP?

Fair point, I was mostly listing the major downsides IMO that OP asked for

Guess you never had to package general or hard to package software like those that require fixed output derivation or undersupported ecosystems, trying to use common development environment for Python under NixOS, running binaries under NixOS, the list goes on.

Comparatively, NixOS is complex, while Arch is simple. NixOS diverges very much from traditional Linux distributions, beginning with using a diferent filesystem hierarchy, which breaks a ton of apps, requiring workarounds like patches, simulating a standard filesystem… In the long run, you will have to deal with many NixOS-specific issues.

Because you’re going to Uni, it’s better to focus on having a mostly just works distro with updated repository, and that’s Arch. On your free time in the future, maybe try NixOS in a VM just so you have a feel for it. And again, you can use Nix on Arch so you use apps from Nixpkgs.

This all comes from an originally Arch user turned into an experienced NixOS user.

I’d recommended Arch because with NixOS you end up having to tinker too much. Besides, if you need to use Linux for development purposes, Arch follows the usual Linux/Unix conventions, while with NixOS you would end up tinkering…And you can always use the Nix app from Arch.

Just use Arch with Gnome or KDE, that will save you a ton of time.

Second that GNOME hasn’t even a decent logo it’s a feet!!!1 Now KDE has cool dragon. Really, GNOME is trash just keep on KDE life’s miles better I’m very proud of you. If anything else just take a look at COSMIC

I have been having the same issue with a Lenovo laptop but on NixOS. I suppose this is a kernel issue; I’ll try updating and see if it solves the issue.

You will find what you further need on the go, no need to get more ready than what you’ve already done.

What is missing? Have you tried https://rustdesk.com?

People using cars as wallpapers on GNU+Linux is trending right now

Davinci Resolve has Linux support. You can install it with Nix https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=davinci-resolve&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=davinci-resolve

Bindings are like translations of the relevant C code to Rust so they can use Rust to talk (interop) with the C library instead of having to use C.

Does this mean GTK can’t use Rust natively, at least for the interface?

I never used GTK, but I suppose from this conversation that yes.

I found an Ubuntu CD room in the trash, searched about it on the Web, which led me to install it on a low-end PC I had
