Mint is amazing and frankly if its working for you then I think you've found it. I stayed on mint for a long time until I relented to a nagging friend and tried out NIxOS and was amazed. If you have the technical skills and feel confident to push through the inital difficulty its well well worth it.
So whats the good?
Reproducibility. Ever been annoyed that someone cant help you because they either dont have the time or just cant reproduce the problem? Its no longer an issue. Dependancy is managed by design so configuration and state is transferable with as little as only two files.
Declarative. Best way to decibe this is all the benefits of Arch and zero of the problems. Declare your configuration in a file and then have a life. Ive never saved so much time before with any distro. Imaging installing windows, configuring the OS, installing apps, configuring them only once, ever, never having to do that again. Reinstalls go straight back to the way you like it.
Reliable. Ive never had a linux distro so stable. The risk and pain of change is a thing of the past.
Largest and most up to date repo. Its simply unmatched.
The list goes on to other areas like security, scalability and much more but lets leave it there.
Whats the bad?
Difficulty of entry. You need to have basic understanding on writting basic code to some degree as you define your config as a simple text file. I recommend vimjoyer on youtube he has some great simple intro videos that will help here.
Using apps not in the repo. You will need to step up your config skills here to install that weird app you want. That is only unless you cant wait. If you have time the community is fantastic, a quick app request on the repo has a great chance of being picked up by some legend and added to the repo officially.
The wiki, its no Arch wiki, thankfully you dont really need it. The community maintains a bunch of configs for hardware and apps on the repo which is weirdly not advertised half as much as it should be. Alternatively just search github for configs from other nixians.
I've been editing and deleting no more than about a dozen different comments at a time . Posts half that. Have random breaks, even creating gibberish comments
Migrate your posts to lemmy first (some of the lemmy apps can do this in bulk). Then Edit your old posts and comments, slowly, then delete them slowly. It's your content not Reddits.
By doing this it devalues Reddit in the process as it becomes void of human content only left with AI slop. They certainly dont value the content creators which made Reddit so why should you.
It's an executive sell off, they've got their money so they're happy. Now they need to make bank for the company for the next fiscal report in order to sell more. Watch this space. Reddit enshitification isnt over.
I suspect that would be from the executive sell off and nothing more . They've been doing everything they could to fatten their personal wallets so I'm not surprised a c-suite selloff has resulted in devaluation
You are correct, it absolutely will, its the cost of unrestricted spending and valueless trade currency. When the USD disappears all would feel it but the US would shrink and feel it generations its so debted
AI media models has to be trained on real media. The illegal content would mean illegal media and benefiting ,supporting, & profiting from and to victims of crime.
The lengths and fallacies pedophiles will go to justify themselves is absurd.
