I’ve been noticing that the front pages (subscribed / all) and their various sorting options are showing a lot of older posts recently. Unlike on other instances I keep seeing pre-election posts, and post age is mostly displayed in days (rather than hours elsewhere). Have others noticed? Any ideas why that may be?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for clarifying! I can totally see where that sort of stuff can really mess things up.

My experience with development environments has been a bit better: Node works out of the box, no problem. For Ruby, the workflow took a little setting up (with bundix), but ended up working very reliably. For R, I actually enjoy that I can set up all my packages with home-manager and they get updated in my regular update cycle and it’s not a separate process altogether.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “pain with static linkage”? If my links have broken in NixOS, it was always due to my inability / laziness to set things up correctly.

I have been using NixOS for my daily driver for about a year now, and while it has been a bit of a learning curve to set things up and heavily rewrite my dotfiles, the dependability and availability of packages has been nothing short of amazing. It feels a lot like the final destination for my distro hopping journey.

I use a lot of CLI tools and some system level hackage to get my keybindings just right, so when I tried out Silverblue I had to load in a lot of stuff through rpm-ostree, which was less than ideal. But if OP wants a rock solid system with Flatpak apps, I wholeheartedly second Silverblue.

Looks like some sort of Bovista (puffball) to me.
