Thank you so much for your example, I'm new to NixOS coming from arch and these are all very helpful.

That's a good idea, thank you!

Me too here, it crashes when launching into the game after a few seconds, I haven't figured it out yet I've tried everything.

Here I am again, to introduce briefly the i2p protocol to those filthy pirates that haven't heard of it.

I2P is a protocol, a peer to peer one, where computers are nodes and create a secret internal internet, like tor but without clearnet access and ip addresses. One of the uses for it is torrenting, since there are no ip's or port forwarding involved.

I'm deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.

Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn't require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.

Should I try it instead of Piped? If so, why?

I am stealing your waybar config :P

Yes, updates work the same, I believe there might be a way to enable automatic updates too. And for flatpak I don't know what you mean with "manually update", usually you can just run "flatpak update" on the terminal and be fine, I don't know Mint enough to know if the software center updates them automatically too, look in the settings of it (if there are any). Hope this was helpful.

It is based on ubuntu, so everything works out of the box, and no complex setup, mint is no archlinux or gentoo

Probably around 800mb, but It has been long since I've used any desktop environment. Nowadays I prefer tiling window managers, they are much more lightweight and fast.

No ads, no tracking, just donations. The model proved itself when twitter went to shit and a big influx of users came to mastodon, it all worked out.

That is absurd, I wouldn't listen to that. Better yet, you should use Linux Mint Xfce version which is way more minimal than Ubuntu.

I've heard NixOS is used on big scale deployments, and it is a well paid job it just won't be easy

You should try Linux mint

The fact that it is open source means it's worth playing
