And this is why you don’t update your system while in the middle of something you need it for

On nixos i managed to uninstall nix (package manager), remove my user account, git, ls, WiFi drivers and basically everything else
I can’t remember how I rescued it now but managed to get it back without a reinstall
That’s awesome if they’re implementing it.
My Google home and Chromecast at the moment are necessary evils because when I sit down to watch something I don’t want to have to worry about whether it’ll work with x or y, whether I’m getting good bitrate etc
Would however be really cool if I was able to cast my screen, cast YouTube etc from my Linux laptop
Have been able to do it in the past using chrome but I already need to keep two browsers installed don’t want a third
AppImage, build from source, or don’t bother
Imagine how much more convenient the world would be if the Chromecast protocol was open source
Bear in mind most tiling wms don’t come with much installed by default, you’ll need a bar and a launcher at least
No idea what distro you’re currently using but generally you can install whatever window manager/desktop (gui) you want
For a tiling wm I’d recommend hyprland. It’s not the most stable but I’ve had minimal issues with it and it’s really easy to get started with. You can install it alongside gnome/kde I believe and switch between the two on login so if you break one you’ve still got the other
You’ve gotta ask does an old person care more about Google spying on them or being able to use a computer as easily as possible
Depending on use case it doesn’t sound like that’d be an issue. I used one of the like 3rd generation Chromebooks for school, I had to rdp for visual studio and Photoshop but it was perfect for everything else
Are we expecting this old person to suddenly embrace their leet gamer skills
Ah you seem to be missing dnf. No worries! Just do
pacman -S dnf
Then you can run
dnf install apt
If someone’s in imminent danger sending police capable of protecting them from said danger seems like a reasonable idea
How does its startup time compare to other launchers (rofi or tofi for example)
Ah makes sense. I installed hyprland on arch then jumped to nix when I couldn’t be bothered with it lol
They specifically mentioned alacritty which is a terminal emulator
What’s a PITA sorry? Never heard of that
I’ve used pantheon on nix before and it worked perfectly, can’t say for other distros
Listen we all know deep down the solution is to try to parse it with regex
They released their desktop environment publicly, which imo was the main reason to use it
I never found elementary really worked that well for me, though pantheon is lovely
If it’s actually possible when my Chromecast stops being usable I’m putting Linux on it and using it to run some light weight projects (someone mentioned you can Linux them)
