I dislike that it takes way too long to boot

1. Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
2. Improve your config and it’ll start in under a second anyways

Emacs had some “premade IDE” project I recall that I tried and wasn’t that enthusiastic about.

Doom Emacs, spacemacs, etc.

And there are plenty of nvim “distros” like that (lazyvim for example).

They make getting started pretty easy. I’ve been using Doom for years and never bothered to make a full config of my own.

AI is quite fit for the task of understanding

Sure, and parrots are amazing at spotting fallacies like cherry picking…

if there’s something that I can adopt as a default goto solution without having to worry about how each system is packaged/configured.

Go is probably your best bet. Simple to use, and you can compile it so it runs everywhere

1. Meaning there’s no obvious glowing button to upgrade, like on every stable distro I’ve used. By realising fedora got a new release 2 months ago, asking why the hell am I still on the previous one, and going to the homepage.
2. How is needing to run arbitrary code you copy-pasted less hassle?
3. Your opinion on it doesn’t matter, completely axing the previous default without a transitional period is neither hassle-free nor inspiring confidence. Also, that config was anything but minimalist…

It’s the only distro I’ve dropped because the upgrade was

1. Hidden and I had to accidentally open its homepage to find out
2. Instructions came with lines you needed to execute before first upgrading
3. Completely dropped gnome, and removed all previous customisation

Worst upgrade experience ever…

git clone --depth=1 ?

Grug use go because it easier, faster, and compiles to share with friends of Grug

First time I’m hearing about Waterfox, but it’s strange they’re leaving in the regular tabs. I hope they add the option to remove them instead of having to use custom CSS like in FF.

I think that Emacs itself was mostly implemented, but they couldn’t get people to rewrite all of their user generated content.

There was that one attempt to rewrite Emacs in cl

If you’re talking about the repo in the screenshot, it’s a python script, so a binary release is going to be fun.

If you’re talking about GitHub in general, you can download binaries from releases, if they’re provided.

QUANTUM COMPUTING

Check out kmonad. You can set on-hold caps to switch to an Emacs navigation layer. In that layer you can for example set the n button to send the arrow instead.

It complains in Wayland about using some X11 tool, but works without issues from my limited experience.

Isn’t garuda the main gaming arch derivative?

For example, I only found code to integrate home manager with nixgl on the nixos discourse.

Could you please share some examples? I tried searching the forum for it, but no luck.

After years of stable distros and dealing with outdated software, and years of arch and dealing with updates causing me to fail to boot, I’ve recently hopped through every popular distro and landed on MX+Nix.

It solves both of my problems. The system is rock solid thanks to Debian, and I still get bleeding edge userland packages from nix unstable.

there’s a lot of out of date and unadded packages for potential.

The main reason why I’m running nix over guix. I need it to freshen up Debian packages, and it’s giving me even older ones.

The close runner up was horrible prebuilt bin coverage(a year or two ago). I had to separate browsers into a manifest of their own, because Firefox didn’t get a prebuilt even days after the update. It’s not fun having to leave your browser compiling over night with 100% CPU fans as a lullaby.
