reminding me about I nearly got suspended because I showed my Health teacher how you could bypass our school’s firewall and buy drugs on a school computer

It's such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.

Anyway, yeah, I agree. I think if one has interest in the inner workings of a computer system, just trying to make Linux do whatever you want it to do is a good way to experience that. You will, over time, without knowing, accumulate so much information just by troubleshooting things that don't work for one reason or another

I think that's kind of the benefit of Git repositories in general; you really don't have to do much to start contributing on any platform, really - just sign up, fork, git clone and MR (for most of them except sourcehut, really, where you use mail to send your patches in)

The barrier of entry for people that are already comfortable with Github and git in general is basically nonexistent on any of these platforms - which is a plus

How long did it take you to migrate from the distribution before and what's your experience in this space in general?

I like the idea of a declarative configuration, but I find it hard to justify when Ansible has the potential to do the job 99% as effectively.

Also, what do you feel are the most "killer features" in nixOS?

Downvote target comment, however light mode has been studied to be clearly superior to dark mode - so I just use that

Benefit of that is that there are very few websites that have only dark mode available, while most content that has the dark mode option looks more consistent with only white mode on

Even though Apple is a trash company as well, they have one thing going for them, which is if they do something today, I am fairly confident it will be around going into the future, no matter what

Interesting - I always ran into issues with btrfs so now I am using ZFS exclusively :D
