  • Apologies for the late comment. So this is a full-fledged frontend like photon or alexandrite, but with this recommendation engine built in? On first glance, it looks so much more responsive and lightweight! I’m really wondering what you’ve done that other big frontends haven’t lol, no broken images or anything! If you do end up going open source, I might consider actually contributing to something for once. I’d love to help build out some features.

    Edit: After using it for a few minutes, wtf, it’s snappier than lemmy itself. And the community search, wow! Maybe a pretty ui does something to perception, I dunno. I am assuming you have barrels of cache lol.

    I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

    There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

    Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

    Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)



  • I’m not sure if you mean gearing yourself up for learning or inspiring others to learn, but my answer might be the same for both.

    Analogies. They’re primarily how I learn and understand things, as well as how I try to convey things to others. Being able to connect some dots to what you already know, even if they’re vastly different ideas, really helps (me) solidify new information and find a driving force to uncover more.

    It could just be my wiring, but I think a lot of how we understand the world is in the terms of our previous understanding. There’s a real possibility of misguided bias though, like knowing all about hammers so everything reminds you of nails.

    My thought is the left track should start the Turing machine, which is more of an infinite sum joke than the halting problem necessarily? Or the halting problem bit is a sort of tangential pun. The right should just be an infinite track with a person at the end.

    Edit: I suppose the infinite sum/halting problem are better described as two sides of the same coin than tangential.




  • My first reaction was also to make fun, but it kinda seems neat and it’s different, which I welcome. Really hope there’s plans to support one strip across monitors cause that would be kind of dope to look at.

    Edit: also I’ve had a pretty easy time with a 2070 running Wayland once the drivers and wm are right. I did manage to mess up my old nixos generations trying to get started and changing things around lmao. Landed on hyprland, and it’s smooth.
