Overwhelming someone who's learning something new will increase their chance of giving up. Not only they have to learn how to use Linux in general, now they'll have to learn about nixos declarative configuration model on top of that. When they eventually get stuck with some issue (which is normal when learning something new), there are less resource to help them on the internet because they're using a niche distro.

I also recommend getting a refurbished ThinkPads for their excellent Linux support, especially newer models like the X1 Carbon. No need to worry about such and such hardware not working on Linux. Avoid models with Nvidia GPU for less maintenance headache.
Did you seriously recommend nixos to a person who never use linux?
Kuala Lumpur 846 gigapixels (2014) (may or may not load because their api server's ssl certificate expires today. if you can't get it to load, open beta-api.panaxity.com and whitelist it, then reload https://www.panaxity.com/ ). And yes, you can zoom in and see people hanging about in their room on distant apartments.
Would be cool if it can be saved as a single gigantic image instead of tiles of multiple images.
I believe so. This line in the source code means it'll only attempt the decoding if an img element for a .jxl image url fails to load.
If you're on safari, you can verify it by going to the demo page at https://niutech.github.io/jxl.js/ and inspect the image element. If the src attributes contain blob, then it's decoded using the wasm decoder. If the src attribute contains url to a .jxl file, then it's decoded natively.
Theoretically, you can use SFTP. VLC for Android seems to support it (browse -> add server favorite menu), but in practice I've never been able to connect to my Linux desktop with SFTP from VLC. It's simply not connecting and doesn't produce any error message.
This is the way to go.
Does the SSL error also occur when you access https://yourlemmyinstance.com from curl without the extra activity+json header?
Thanks to wasm, you don't have to bow to Google's whim and can choose to include jpeg xl support on your websites if you want: https://github.com/niutech/jxl.js
My old Android phone only has USB 2.0 port and can't mount the external nvme drive (I tried with a USB 3.1 otg dongle). The same nvme drive with the otg dongle works on M2 MBA though.
I went this route as well. You can get a good quality usb 3.1 portable nvme enclosure for ~$20-$30 (be careful not to accidentally buy the msata version, which is cheaper but slower). Now you have a very fast thumbdrive! The main drawback is, unlike traditional thumbdrive, I can't use it on my android phone. Not sure if higher end phone with usb 3.1 port can actually use it.
This doesn't help with counterfeit though. So many conterfeit usb thumsticks these days. They're might be obvious for tech-savvy users to identify (blue usb jack but slow ass usb 2.0 speed, or weird typo in device name), but most person probably wouldn't notice they're using conterfeit devices.
