Having tried NixOS, I gotta say the ability to quickly restore everything from a single config (its main premise) is overrated when it comes to home systems. Invaluable for production environments, though.
The rest can be done on any other Linux, and it would probably be preferred by most.
On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!
So, we'll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.
Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I'm all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.
All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.
But I doubt it'll be done this way.
Threadiverse kinda captures it, but it also calls association with Threads (by Meta), like if it's the parent of it, while in fact it's not even part of it.
Honestly, the "human extinction" level of climate change is very far away. Currently, we're preventing the "sunken coastal cities, economic crisis and famine in poor regions" kind of change, it's just that "we're all gonna die" sounds flashier.
We have the time to change the course, it's just that the sooner we do this, the less damage will be done. This is why it's important to solve it now.
Yes, my apologies I edited it so drastically to better get my point across.
Sure, we get more information. But we also learn to filter it, to adapt to it, and eventually - to disregard things we have little control over, while finding what we can do to make it better.
I believe that, eventually, we can fix this all as well.
People were always manipulated. I mean, they were indoctrinated with divine power of rulers, how much worse can it get? It's just that now it tries to be a bit more stealthy.
And previously, there were plenty of existential threats. Famine, plague, all that stuff that actually threatened to wipe us out.
We're still here, and we have what it takes to push back. We need more organizing, that's all.
Same argument was already made around 2500BCE in Mesopotamian scriptures. The corruption of society will lead to deterioration and collapse, these processes accelerate and will soon lead to the inevitable end; remaining minds write history books and capture the end of humanity.
...and as you can see, we're 4500 years into this stuff, still kicking.
One mistake people of all generations make is assuming the previous ones were smarter and better. No, they weren't, they were as naive if not more so, had same illusions of grandeur and outside influences. This thing never went anywhere and never will. We can shift it to better or worse, but societal collapse due to people suddenly getting dumb is not something to reasonably worry about.
Ability to properly work with apps outside the officially recommended list, to customize Docker containers etc.
At least from what I can recall from 1-1,5 years ago that I used it.
Wrong community, maybe? Lol
iirc, algae are better oxygen producers per units of mass and volume, so a tank full of algae might actually be better than a tree. One issue though is that trees can grow on open ground, while algae require a tank to be built, most likely negating the economic benefits. Also, trees are more aesthetically pleasing.
Strong disagree on my part.
Immutable distros work differently from traditional ones, for which most guides and manuals were written. This is somewhat painful even for those coming from other distros, and it's gonna be a nightmare for those coming from another OS. They didn't even familiarize themselves with Linux yet, and people want them to run flatpaks, distroboxes and work with rpm-ostree or its alternatives. It's like learning to fly a plane by saving a Boeing-737 on a crash course.
Immutable options are not for newbie users, at least not in the foreseeable future.
