Ooh, can you explain how guns/shooting becomes a hobby? I can imagine how you might buy one for self defense or hunting, does that maks it a hobby or does it go deeper?

Your build might be busted. Mine works with doubletap. I have version 5.7

I'm currently learning home-manager. There are some configuration options that let you define common program configurations in nix (the language). But those options are limited and might even require package installation.

So for complex (or existing) configs withou package management, you can just tell home-manager explicitly to take dot file at path A (in a git repo, for instance) and link it to path B. This will check for overwrites too, so if path B already exists it will yell at you and no write over existing files, so no sweat.

You can also define different profiles per machine, so if you need something different per machine home-manager can let you do that too. And since its nix, you can break out configuration files as you would in any other language to organize you dotfiles however you like.

There might be something clever in home manager for mapping a file path in your dotfiles repo to the same directory relative to your $HOME, but it's likely you'll just explicitely write something like xdg.configFile.nvim = { source = ./neovim/init.lua; }, mapping precisely each file in your git repo to the appropriate config location.

Let me know if you have other questions. I'm all aboard on the nixos train so I could be bias.

You'd have to explain how gimp doesnt suit your needs, because in the open source world its best in class for photo editing.

Thats been a fear of mine moving to nixos. Glad to know it'll cover most of my software needs.

It was my first character in world of warcraft. I was trying to be exotic lol.

Everything starts with rum, like my username, for some reason. My phone is "rumpixel" and my desktop is called "rumtower".

I use https://tasks.org/ and Ive no issues going back and forth between the app and nextcloud tasks.

I like your take, but if your title had been "GUIs are integral for linux adoption and devs should prioritize it more often" it might have gone over better.

Ffmpeg is one tool that I love and want to recommend to other users to do simple and efficient video file conversions/cropping/trimming. But the lack of a GUI doesnt make it easy. Luckily I have found GUI wrappers on windows and linux, but without those I would absolutely not recommend it. Youtube dl is another example of this. Im glad there are other open source projects providing GUI wrappers for these scenarios.

Financially you got ahead on the bike, but do you think the insurance claim, emotional toll, time without a bike, etc. was worth the improvement for the new bike? It seems easy for someone who has never been a victim of theft to just look at the numbers and assume that person is better off. How do you feel about your bike situation?

Never forget that no matter the distro (well most of them) you can install whatever desktop environment you want. That said, if you want to dip your toes in first time, I'd go with Mint. Its debian based, so most stackoverflow solutions will already have the apt install command you need for you. It has a variety of DE options out of the box on their website too.

Also, KDE and Gnome have changed a lot over the last 5 years. Id give each of them another shot.

EDIT: yes, pine is based

Youve reminded me that deck and tasks actually integrate with one another. If you have a deck card assigned to you, it shows up in a special feed in tasks as well. I think its a little clunky but might be a feature of interest. I just opted for all tasks, since my nextcloud is single user.
