KSP vibes

The potato rested for 8 hours, the potato should get into gear or the potato is gonna be late for school.

pavucontrol probably the best option given your distro. Go with that.

I never learned how that happened. We suspected that someone might have sneakily applied them during production or before delivery, as the trains were brand-new.
I doubt they were "official" stickers 😉

When the Munich public transport introduced new trains around 20 years ago some of them had porn images stuck to the inside of legs of some of the benches. You can be sure that teenage boys find them.
The numbers quickly dwindled but it took the company years until they had them all removed.

Ain't that the truth. But I love the workflow they offer. You don't have to go looking for new windows. You can easily pin applications to virtual desktops and I prefer the multihead model they use over the one used by gnome or KDE.

So we have to piece information together from the manual and random blogs? Like cavemen? Or worse, like Windows users??

Only on geologic timescales, though, which requires special preservation, otherwise there won't be any remains.

Looks like a caricature of a 50s TV host. Fits the political world view.

To be fair, depending on how the hummus is seasoned, that might work quite well.

Took me a sec.

Yea, but people don't play the same game non-stop for 8 hours… actually, never mind.

Obviously

Not to mention that they're still considered experimental.

I don't know what gave you the idea that a particular distro would be an especially good/bad choice for privacy, etc. They're all GNU/Linux with only minor differences in compile-time options in the kernel and different defaults in user-space. But they're just that, defaults. You can reconfigure them to your preference.

With that out of the way, the issue NixOS attempts to address is reproducibility. You get a central configuration infrastructure that defines everything, from partition layout, through user creation and package installation to software configuration. The central idea being that migrating to a new machine or setting up a new development environment should only take a few commands.
What you do with that is up to you. You can barricade the whole system if you like. The defaults are sane, but not overly focused on privacy, etc.
Also it's quite a learning curve as the documentation/wiki is incomplete and/or outdated.

It should be 'retroactively.'

Maybe. Every time I've looked into this so far I found it confusing enough to just go with a cable.

That's understandable.

At least I can play games and get directional audio. Beyond that I care little how they achieve it.

I wasn't being serious, in case that wasn't obvious. But thanks for the clarification.
