Wasn't reddit always like that? Or was this particular sub okay?

What you're saying is that the author has made such a revolutionary video that solves problems no other video can solve, that in 30 years this video will be maintained by some of the most brilliant minds on Earth. In other words, the analogy is really, really bad.

How's it worse or better than some no name's ranking? At least it's not a 20-minutes video for something that could be a 10 items list.

What makes you think the result will satisfy your needs? It probably wont, and it definitely won't satisfy the needs of many other people. We have two major DE based on different toolkits, following different philosophies, having different looks and feels. This is good. You can choose. Or you can pick another DE or WM. That's why Linux is so attractive.

I think if you have no answer, it could be that NixOS doesn't solve any problem for you. In effect, it's not better. Don't buy into social media hype. It's just a tool like any other.

You forgot about a VMWare layer!

But will you train an LLM with it??

The whole server is running under the VPN.

to the point of being denied service

Yes. Spotify blocks my account if I'm using VPN, ChatGPT asks to solve ridiculous captchas (on a paid account!). It's crazy. Reddit blocks access if you're on the VPN and not logged in.

good battery life (I don’t want to worry about)

Define good battery life.

That's an improvement. But risk = impact * probability. Realistically, the probability of installing such an app from repos is virtually non-existent. My point is that Wayland comes with some improvements, but I've been seeing comments like the one I replied to for almost 15 years, as if Wayland will revolutionize Linux desktop. It won't. Probably most users won't see any difference, except for bugs caused by the migration.

[–] java@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

If that was true, we would be on Wayland for years. But in reality, it proves minor improvements versus heavy investments to migrate from X. And that's why it's still a fetish and not a standard.
