Oh cool. My grandparents don't have any idea that scrolling text isn't normal on startup. Neat project though!

That makes a lot of sense. I can setup their computer with nixos and stuff that needs to be updated regularly (like a web browser) can be flatpak which should be more stable too.

Then flatpak update would get them updated without rebuilding the whole OS.

My grandparents have been rocking Linux Mint for a few years. I have managed Chrome through Flatpak since I discovered that was possible on Mint. I've been flirting with the idea of having NixOS instead so I don't have to remember what I've configured in the past. I'm not 100% sure now though :-P

What is this experimental tool called so I can read more about it?

Have a good guide on cleanup? 👀

I thought about doing that but updating nixos confuses me. Does nixos-rebuild switch pull new packages? To my understanding there is a file that saves all currently installed versions of packages and switch only adds new things but wouldn't update packages.

Like, if I want to update Google Chrome. Doing switch wouldn't change anything if the config hasn't changed, right?

It's worth donating if you have the means to. I paid for a lifetime Plex subscription. So, I felt uncomfortable not donating to Jellyfin. They take donations on open collective.

Yeah, I've been switched to using Jellyfin anyways. I hope they can do this successfully. They haven't been the best for a while anyways..

True. I don't use it. But, it does cost money.

Honestly. I'm surprised they haven't done this sooner. Prince video is included with a normal prime subscription. So, with some of the originals they've produced and paying for the rights to many movies/shows, they are probably bleeding money with this service..
