Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian (stable) -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

You will hate Ansible if you are coming from Nix. I went the other way and Nix is 1000x cleaner.

Being able to actually reverse changes is trivial in Nix, but can be a headache in Ansible. Not to mention the advantages of writing in an actual language and not yaml full of template hacks. I personally don't see much future for tools like Ansible, there is considerable inertia working in its favor right now and it is absolutely true that it is widely used, but the future of configuration management is for sure more aligned with how Nix works.

I have been reading about this since the news broke and still can't fully wrap my head around how it works. What an impressive level of sophistication.

It's a real shame that Nautilus doesn't have a built in split view, I always love that when I try Dolphin.

What a great looking release. I'm most excited that we finally have proper caldav/carddav support built in!

Probably using ddcutil. There is a popular gnome extension for the same thing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2645/brightness-control-using-ddcutil

How is your battery life?

I also settled on NixOS after Ubuntu -> Arch -> Debian -> Fedora -> Silverblue -> NixOS. Couldn't be happier and no plans to leave.

Time to fork it.

Meanwhile I get support for both completely ad free with infinite selection on my Jellyfin server... What on earth are these companies thinking, you literally get a superior product by not paying for it. I would gladly pay a small fee per download of DRM free files if that were an option.

Grand Theft Auto.

All of them, but especially V. I have tried a few times to play them but never get more than a few missions in before losing interest in the story. I think I have to like or identify with a protagonist to enjoy a game, and most GTA characters are pretty unlikable.

Continued increase in Nix adoption. It seems like 2023 saw a real shift in favour of immutable solutions in general and Nix in particular.
