I've yet to lose a game by just buying literally everything I land on, mortgaging things if I need the money to do so

Did this to my ex once, bought up all the houses and refused to upgrade to hotels, thought I was crazy

Ended up winning because she couldn't progress

Ah that's useful to know, I've been using gamescope for that but it's a bit overkill

I use nixos for dev all the time, personally I think it's great

What I would suggest however is to install the nix package manager on another distro, learn how it works that way and then switch when you're comfortable only using nix

Flakes are absolutely incredible for development and I think every project beyond scrappy scripts should use them.

You can specify all your dependencies (compiler, libraries, cli tools, environment variables etc) in your nix flake, then run nix develop and it'll make you an isolated shell with all that stuff

(For example, I don't have go, rust or dotnet installed but when I cd into one of my projects directors it installs them to a temporary shell and catches them until I clean up)

The flake also generates a lock file which specifies every version of every dependency with a git rev and a hash, meaning if you check flake and lock into git, anyone else who clones that project and uses the flake gets the exact same system you were using

I physically struggle to eat that much, I need to eat more to bulk but can never manage

I usually use gamescope for that purpose but it's still a bit of a pain and takes me out of the tmux/helix loop

Ahhh my bad I didn't read your comment properly, assumed you meant with a desktop running already

I'd love to be able to ditch the gui entirely, I've found working from a TTY really helps me focus on the actual work I'm supposed to be doing

Unfortunately the one impossible hurdle is the web browser. Have kinda got around the need for it mostly with an llm cli for basic questions but will always find myself needing to fire up a window manager just to get a browser eventually

Also doesn't help that I'm primarily a web developer

Starting Firefox takes 5 seconds? I start thinking I need to optimise if it takes more than 2

Yep that I imagine is one of the main intended use cases, in my case would probably be overkill though

Nixos too

Screen sharing from Linux is amusing though, so far I've yet to have anyone even mention it (hyprland so looks very different to Windows)
