| Mooncairn | I'm about ready to declare digital bankruptcy and nuke my desktop environmet and/or my user account and start over. | 14:18 |
|---|---|---|
| Mooncairn | I'm looking for a replacement desktop environment. KDE is just too damn buggy. | 14:19 |
| cmaloney | Ugh. Sorry to read that. | 14:40 |

| jrwren | linux is meant for the server. ;) | 15:18 |
| cmaloney | and the desktop. :) | 15:48 |
| ben | howdy michiganders | 15:53 |
| cmaloney | howdy | 16:16 |
| jrwren | ever try pop_os? | 17:09 |
| cmaloney | I have not | 17:11 |
| jrwren | It is like ubuntu, only good. ;) no snaps, nicer UX IMO. Still based on Ubuntu. | 17:36 |
| cmaloney | I've heard good things about PPO | 17:39 |
| cmaloney | POP | 17:39 |
| cmaloney | Honestly the "no snaps" is awesome | 17:39 |
| cmaloney | I'm getting less and less impressed with Snaps. | 17:39 |
| jrwren | same here, they use more disk space, but I guess everyone has lots of that these days | 17:40 |
| jrwren | my fav... the first time I ran `snap list --all` and saw the garbage not collected. WTF?!?! | 17:41 |
| cmaloney | eyeroll | 17:44 |
| jrwren | holy crap nextdns looks good. I might get rid of pihole, it looks that good. I need to read their privacy policy | 18:12 |
| cmaloney | wow. That good, huh? | 18:18 |
| jrwren | oh i see, limited to 300k DNS queries in a month. | 18:29 |
| jrwren | i do 80k in a day. LMAO. | 18:29 |
| Mooncairn | Any thoughts about NixOS? | 18:30 |
| jrwren | its awesome. I'm just too lazy to switch. | 18:32 |
| jrwren | i use nixpkg to run things in ubuntu that are snap only, like lxd | 18:33 |
| Mooncairn | I'm thinking of trying other distros if I'm going to redo my DE anyway. | 18:34 |
| Mooncairn | I'll probably get another SSD soon and I can use that while I keep my existing disks as-is for a while in case I want to go back. | 18:35 |
| jrwren | i feel like nix is the latest tinker linux version like arch and gentoo before it ;) | 18:35 |
| Mooncairn | Does NixOS require that packages be built from source? If so, I'm out. I did Gentoo years ago and, while fun at the time, I don't want to spend a couple of days waiting for a mass software upgrade. | 18:37 |
| jrwren | i don't think so, no. | 18:43 |
| jrwren | but the nix files specify how to buid. | 18:43 |
| ben | i ran pop_os briefly a couple years ago | 19:28 |
| ben | i think i removed snap from all my ubuntu VMs | 19:31 |
| ben | one of the reasons i'm tending towards debian nowadays | 19:31 |
| ben | and fricken netplan | 19:31 |
| jrwren | i want everything systemd :) | 21:16 |
