There's a TUI called sysz for systemd stuff, but I haven't found a true GUI

I mean if a lot of people rely on it for apps I imagine a lot of people would get upset lol
Misread this and thought they were deleting the Play store app itself, not apps in the store lol
Theres XMPP too, its nice
I haven't tried running a full Guix system yet but im really liking it as a package manager on top of arch. Yes, hardware support can be iffy, but there is an unofficial channel called nonguix that packages the standard Linux kernel instead of linux-libre, and yes there are less packages but honestly packages are so much more fun to write? I've written a few package definitions for both my own use and ive made a request to add one to the official channel. And I feel like, if I really needed something that would not be packaged due to complexity or something, I could try and use flatpak or an appimage or something. I think its definitely worth checking out.
That's true. That's what I've been seeing in places, people just saying to continue on and ignore the drama. And I know I shouldn't let a group idea/thing dictate whether I use nix but like I was already starting to not like how it seemed like a lot of people were like "write all your stuff in nix (configs, etc)" and I didn't want to get locked in. Plus I got busy and didn't feel like tinkering with it. Idk. I was already losing interest in a weird way. I still think immutable/reproducible distros are cool though. I'm now just currently running Guix on top of arch and using aconfmgr to emulate some reproducibility.
Yeah that makes sense. I still have my old nix shell files so I can use them if need be for my environments
Oof. That sucks. Didn't know that was a thing
Idk imo knowing about the drama makes me hesitant to go back, especially since I switched all my development environments from Nix to Guix and I dont want to have three package managers lol Plus the Guix community seems really close knit
Also, happy cake day!
TIL! thanks!
