I don’t see why it wouldn’t. You may need to enable a config option or two though. Documentation isn’t NixOS’s strongest suit.
I’m boring and I shitpost and tech-post all over the place. Big fan of Ea-nāṣir.

It doesn’t have to. I ran Sway on Nix the entire time I used it, and I know Hyprland supports Nix as well
GNOME’s stance on user customization has been “users can do whatever they feel like using 3rd party tools like Gradience or entirely custom CSS, but if you’re a distro maker then only use the Approved Ways™ to customize things”
Now, I have zero clue if that solves anything (it very likely doesn’t), but it’s actually more than most people give them credit for.
I’d say “go join in on the issue tracker and tell GNOME about this” but hearing from some people who tried that before you I’m not too hopeful that would do much of a difference. All I know is that complaining here isn’t going to solve anything.
Are there any patents or anything stopping Valve from pulling a Switch and making both at the same time?
Hell, the deck is mostly there. It just needs a dock and the ability to remove the controller from the frame.
There are so many Linuxy YouTube Guys With Terrible Politics™ that it’s really not that hard to confuse them with each other.
The thing about NixOS is that while using packages are easy, creating them are still really hard and/or undocumented.
With most popular services already being packaged by people who know what they’re doing this isn’t that big of a deal, but when I want to try out something from Joe Schmoe’s GitHub (or worse, something I made myself) it is much easier for me to throw together a “good enough” Dockerfile and compose.yml together in barely a hour of work than to dig into Nixpkgs internals and wrestle with Nix’s syntax.
Because of the way it works, you can try out on a VM for a bit and move your config over to real hardware trivially if you end up liking it. That’s how I did it before I realized how immature it’s rocm support is and had to switch back to arch
Because messaging of that sort needs contacts and Redditors (including me tbf) don’t have friends.
Which you just know nobody is going to bother with installing on their guild.
I think “Plasma 6” just means “run everything off -git packages” for now.
I’m starting to get into the habit of reaching for debuggers more and more as opposed to just print()ing everything and hoping for the best.
Profilers on the other hand I still have no idea how to apply (and more importantly, read the results of) properly, so that’s something I’ll need to learn.
Definitely not Gentoo based, but if you can get by with their unique approach to basically everything, NixOS can be pretty interesting, in that while it is technically source based, binary caches are widely used to basically “pretend” to be a binary distro. And it does let you patch things shouid you want it (at the expense of recompiling everything that even slightly comes in contact with the patched package)
There are some parts that are too “baked in” to change – requiring systemd, for instance – so that may be a dealbreaker for you.
That could possibly also explain why the XFCE spin was so broken for you.
XFCE (as a desktop, individual apps probably do since it’s GTK3) does not support Wayland yet.
I assume that in the short term transcoding is also going to become an issue. Most fedi servers are being hosted on cloud providers like Hetzner, DO, Linode, etc. who do not have any kind of encoding hardware, and modern codecs like VP9 or god forbid AV1 are horribly slow to encode without HW acceleration.
I know there are several platforms that do offer it (Amazon and Google do AFAIK) but those can still get pretty expensive, and there is a sizeable chunk of people here who may not want their content to reach Amazon or Google.
Just leave the pirates be. People who’ll buy the game will buy the game regardless. Even the strongest DRM won’t get you more sales if people don’t want to buy the game. Piracy can also allow for word of mouth marketing though take that with quite a bit of salt as I don’t have the resources to back me up.
The “free code, proprietary assets” model seems to be the best option so far, as far as I’m aware. Of course this raises the issue of scripts in assets, like Godot’s GDScript. Do you consider them code or assets? It’s up to you of course.
Video hosting is way more resource intensive (and therefore expensive) than text and even the most image filled of Lemmy communities
Xorg is not even in maintenance mode at this point. It’s practically a zombie (and the devs are pretty clear that if you want that to change, YOU will have to step up to do it)
Wayland has the basics done bar Gnome being Gnome and Nvidia being Nvidia, and the uncommon use cases are having solutions built for them as we speak, although quality software will inevitably take time. Especially if we don’t want Wayland to end up an Xorg v2, but splintered.
Get something new enough and continue getting something new enough when AMD pushes them out. The drivers suck for anything older than an RX580, and things like Blender require even newer GPUs despite the hardware being more than capable.
Run Arch and use the ROCm’d PyTorch from the repos. Those packagers know what they’re doing.
Other than that, expect everything premade to be made for CUDA (and therefore unusable). There are some tools like https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIPIFY but they aren’t “there”.

Alpine is completely separate by RHEL by a country mile (hell, it doesn’t even use glibc). You’re probably thinking of Rocky
