I think Inkscape 1.4 doesn't bring any fancy features, but rather makes what already works better. The inconspicous releases are just as important.

While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.

Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!

Sadly, not officially (atm). I think you need to use a custom image and I don't know how well those work.

Governance leaves a lot to be desired.

Genuine question from somebody who's out of the loop and doesn't use NixOS: How does this affect your day to day using the distro?

I've heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.

With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):

Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way ...

You will also know nothing and be happy.

Ignorance is bliss after all

Pretty sure that is possible with Nix and home-manager.

I don't have anything useful to say but that sounds fixing dystopian.

Oh thank you for that link. I knew I've heard him take about his plans in some talk he gave, but didn't know he write them down.

I am on the same page as you. River works for me well enough, but the vision is what keeps me excited.

What exactly was the problem with not being able to configure CSD/SSD? I've not run into any issues but that has probably more to do with the applications I run.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time getting the software running. I understand that this can be very frustrating.

As others have said, making yourself the owner of everything can cause numerous issues in the long run and there's a reason why most distributions DON'T make you root.

Why are you using Linux in the first place? I think sonarr and jackett both run on Windows as well.

Don't let the frustration get the best of you. If you really want to run those tools yourself, then dive into it (and all the technical issues that are part of it), but if you only want to have access to the functionality, you might want to look into a service that takes care of all the technical burden.

Good luck
