This is in Germany, idk what laws in the US have to do with this

HAHAHAHHAHA

where can I get a NixOS Flare?

May I recommend editing your comment?

Except the quick settings

Fuck those

Idk, Fairphone served me well

That guy has my utmost respect.

To admit he was wrong and change his worldview (quire literally) when confronted with evidence, this is not easy. Mad respect.

File Transfer Protocol?

yeah, but i can still make a Github Repo for Firefoxx and be Verified on Flathub, even though i am masquerading as Firefox. That’s not the Problem.

And you can write your home configs in scheme too

so you have your own Version of Home-Manager as well?

NixOS User here: what made you use Guix over NixOS?

It makes a lot of sense as soon as you read his Question again and realize he also asked about security

I’m sorry, i already put way too much Effort into these Replies to retype it all, so I’m going to have to redirect you to them.

regarding Security:

please put your thougts on these in the Comments below the respective Comment, to keep it all organized and grouped :)

regarding Privacy:

Yes, Linux definitely has a lot less Telemetry. But: I would argue that without Security you can’t have Privacy.

I would rather give MS their Telemetry than risk a random Attacker getting Access to my entire Computer and all the Data on it.

But “can you have Privacy without Security?” is kind of a Philosophical Question and heavily depends on subjective Definitions of what Privacy is to you, so I don’t think we’ll reach an Agreement there.

For Privacy and Security: I personally chose to switch back to Windows and wait for either redoxos or spectrum-os to mature.

You can also try QubesOS, but for me it just started to bootloop.

Otherwise:

Use webapps, install as few things as possible.

Don’t they own the Code?

Can’t they just cease-and-desist them if they cause them trouble?

0.001, but still

I use fish

Honestly, the scandals around ActBli, i actually want google to win this one.

I want it to lose against F-Droid though

Just know: it takes time and effort to learn. The Documentation is often not that good and you’ll go digging in blogs, Forums and Github Issues.

All in all i’d say i’ve spent probably more Time learning Nixos than i’ve spent learning Linux. Which, admittedly wasn’t much as i started recently with fedora which has gotten really beginner-friendly, but still. I’d say i spent at least all in all 20 hours learning how to fix a fringe Problem in Nixos.

Most of that time was wasted on useless fringe stuff you’d probably never want to do, but there’s also some rather normal stuff in there: i remember that my SWAP wasn’t decrypring correctly from LUKS, which wasn’t really bad or anything, it just annoyed me that it didn’t work, and i spent about 40 Minutes debugging that.

For me it was totally worth it. I would do it again in a Heartbeat. However, if you have a full-time Job and a Family, maybe you should just get a Fedora Workstation Laptop. Or a Macbook even.

As someone who uses it as well:

Yes it is. Especially if you use Gnome. Because you can set dconf settings right in your Config.

It takes a while to remember to configure your User Account not in the normal Settings App but instead in the Config, but once you do it’s amazing.

I reinstalled on my Laptop and i was back on my old Desktop with all my Programs, Extensions, Settings etc within 20 Minutes

When i change a Setting on my Laptop, i use Git to synch the Config to my Desktop and all the changes i made to my Laptop are also on my Desktop.

Also: no more accidentally breaking your system. I don’t have to type random Commands in my Terminal to try and fix something and then try ans revert them. I just add the Config. If it doesn’t work, i remove the Config again and it automatically reverts everything back as if nothing ever happened.

It is trily amazing

Now if only SELinux or Apparmor finally were supported.

Shouldn’t of
