Every immutable system allows you to run binaries

What's not fully immutable? You can't modify the store

And then you'll wonder why the game that used to run in Wine doesn't run anymore

Not only that, programs just break by themselves. LocalSend broke because some deps broke. I use versions that I've verified to work. Being able to revert and just use my computer is a godsend.

That's exactly the point, that feature is only there if you know about it

But how do you know which software you had installed?

I use NixOS which is immutable

Yeah, let me enable snapshots when it's already fucked

That is, until your distro releases an update and you're like "what do you mean the update failed? So does that mean the update script rolled the changes back?" and then you find out your entire system is in a half updated state and you need to clean install

No, but she had three concussions

The graphs are confusing, same color, but they switch to whatever is better being at the top

They should just rename Gnome to Desktop Environment and rewrite it in Rust Programming Language

It can do that, but it gets more complicated because you are doing this is in an imperative way. For example, in Nix it's trivial to change the config and remove something.

In ansible there's no guarantee installing a package and removing it won't have side effects. You could install a DE and decide to switch back, but it already changed some files on your system

Nixos conf editor, it shows less of the config on screen than a text editor

Because whenever I use apt or a similar standard package manager there is always some issue. For example, I start up an Ubuntu VPS and try to run nginx just to find out that Ubuntu 24 only has 1.24

And to get a newer version you need to do a bunch of steps:

https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-open-source/#stable_vs_mainline

How are these sources.list incantations any different from editing a configuration.nix file?

Okay, but when I figure it out on my desktop I just copy paste the exact snippet to my laptop and it just works.

Do you think I can remember the steps I took to fix my issue with Ubuntu? I don't remember what file I modified and where I put some config file.

They already built a GUI editor, but a programmer made it so it is actually harder to use than the text file

Not confirmed. Crossed the ocean on a train in Japan

Ships barely pollute. They carry an extremely large amount of weight for the energy they use because they are on water. It's the truck bringing it to your doorstep that creates the pollution. If you live on the coast, buying American could pollute more

How about a VPN? As far as I understand it would only work with sites that have an IPv6 address. But maybe if you make it a middle step for cloudflare warp.

Your machine's IPv6 -> IPv6 only VPS -> CF Warp
