    Ah yes, NeoNaziOS. We definitely want that to go mainstream.

    /s

    (seriously, if you don’t know who DHH is please do some research…his HEY World blog + X account is rife with stuff that’ll make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. 😬)

    Wait until DHH finds NixOS, where we can configure everything via single configuration. Even multiple machines.

    I love Debian for what it taught me, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever use anything else.

      Yes, NixOS - and also Niri so your tiled windows don’t resize themselves, and you get the extra-fancy screen cast and screen shot features. That’s what I use, therefore it is the best.

        Tried Niri. Didn’t like the default shortcuts, but those can be changed of course. However, I couldn’t get the current darkman state to be recognized by apps. Not sure what I have to do there.

      No dev worth their salt works in Windows.

      lol. Tell that to my team who has been developing our product for Windows for 25-30 years, generating probably a billion euros over the years.

      Can’t tell if you’re just joking or not but either way. 😄

      I work with a very competent dev who uses Windows. I’ve even gotten him to the point of helping me to champion Nix dev shells. But he prefers to use those through WSL ¯\(ツ)

      Yep most devs work with Linux in some way. We have to use windows for work but we deploy on linux.

      Personally, i have a strong preference for Linux, but I don’t care if it’s a Mac. It’s unix-like enough, and all my stuff works. In fact, I already have a NixOS + Nix-darwin setup going really well. Windows though is just a hard no
