I currently use Gnome on my laptop, but I've toyed with returning to KDE for a while. I used KDE briefly back in the v3 and v4 days felt like it was a bit bloated compared to Gnome v1 and v2. Cinnamon is nice but a bit heavyweight on graphics. I should probably return to XFCE or Mate.

These remarks could discourage others from reading a useful and well-written article.

I still use GnuPG on occasion, but I've benefited from incorporatingsops and age into repositories. They're pretty slick.

You do you man. I'm just trying to share some information that helped me.

For what it's worth, some say that PGP is bad and needs to go away. I found that article pretty interesting when learning sops.

Dockerfiles act as instructions for the docker (or compatible) CLI to use for building OCI container images. Images may or may not have layers and can be exported as a tarball for inspection (with tools like dive).

Nix provides native support for building container images, and the resulting archive must be loaded using docker load. There is another library (nix2container) that aims for better performance and relies on skopeo for copying the built image to a docker-compatible server, local or remote.

Just wanted to share a some of the information I've learned. Cheers!

I currently use NixOS and nix-darwin, and I've enjoyed the ride so far. I use flakes with direnv for reproducible development environments, and this has been working out well. I've also been impressed with using Nix to build OCI containers.

The learning curve isn't flat, but the ecosystem is fantastic.

I almost feel bad that I haven't. I've used their documentation for years but never installed the distro. Most recently I've been having fun with NixOS.

Thanks for posting. I was unaware of current events. That's quite the rabbit hole!
