Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Gentoo -> NixOS

Czechia, same here. Same old Russia wants to invade all of Europe so we have to defend ourselves.

The issue with these kinds of tests is that Zen kernel never claimed to be faster. It is supposed to be more responsive, especially under heavy load. Which is basically impossible to test.

Not sure if it is illegal in Germany, but laws usually aren’t so specific. Where I live we basically made “From river to the sea” illegal, because “it promotes genocide”.

I think you missed a few words in the title of the post.

Interesting, probably a Czech thing then. We like to pretend we are part of the Western Europe, or at least Central Europe (as opposed to the uncivilized east). You often even get maps of Western Europe like this:

I think the most interesting part is Germany and Switzerland not being part of the West Europe. Anytime someone uses the term Central Europe, it seems to me just trying to be not considered Eastern Europe.

One thing to consider there is that CPUs are much more efficient now. So if it is a really old laptop, it might consume quite a low of power.

I recently switched to nixos which makes dependency management and configuration itself much easier. Probably the best option to run things on bare metal IMO.

Sounds like Windows rewrote boot manager. It likes to do that sometimes. Basically your only choice is taking live USB booting into it and reinstalling grub.

Currently, I am using DWL and it is pretty nice. After moving to Wayland, I tried to use Sway for a while, but it does not really fit into my workflow well. But to be honest, even DWL is missing some things I want, and I am not really a fan of that it is written and configured in C. I am planning on trying to write my own tiling window manager in Rust when I have some time.

Recently switched from Gentoo to NixOS. Not really sure if I will not switch back but so far interesting experience. Being able to define your entire system configuration with just a few files is really cool, plus it is really nice for setting up development environments.

On my Laptop I just run arch because I find it easiest, and it is mostly multimedia laptop. Same with my home server (NAS, self-hosted stuff, VR) where I just need rolling distro with good support for gaming.

Currently trying out NixOS, just switched from Gentoo. Interesting experience so far, will see if the switch will be permanent.

Immutable system, completely separated and well-defined development environments per project, and overall nix is pretty nice.

So far just contributing to other projects whenever I find something, missing. My main project that I am currently starting to work on is a Wayland Tiling Compositor written in Rust, but so far I am still in very early stages. I really like how Wayland works but so far all the compositors are lacking something I want, closest to what I want is DWL, but it still lacks some things I want.

I am using Lineage but not really sure if it qualifies, it is still an android. Overall, it is pretty good. The main issues I am getting is due to the fact that I didn’t install version with Google services, and I am using MicroG instead (open source implementation). Some applications don’t like it, and you have to do some trickery with rooting to have a chance to run them (for example our national identification application), but it is pretty rare.

I would recommend it if you want to still be able to use everything you need but want a bit more FOSS experience.

I basically just use default. Or rather, I don’t store almost anything in ~ except for .config and few local binaries. Almost everything else is organized on my home server. There I have everything I downloaded sorted in media/tv media/anime media/movies media/music. Where it is automatically put by Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr or in case of music downloaded from soulseek and then imported with beets. Then I just differentiate between work projects and personal projects. Plus some randomly created norg files for organization (I really have to create proper system for them).
