Comment on Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update improves and breaks dark mode

Hmm, I personally place Nix at the same level as Arch, because I see both distros being hard to get into because of how different they do stuff when compared to the average OS.

Maybe the real level up is trying to run BSD on unsupported hardware?

Arch is easier in my opinion, at least if you want to leverage the power NixOS can offer. A simple /etc/nixos/configuration.nix maybe not, but once you enter custom options / submodule territory and use stuff like lib.mapAttrs, I’d say NixOS is quite harder. Or just a more complex overrideAttrs. But then again, Arch doesn’t have an equivalent to that…

  I didn’t need to learn a programming language to install Arch btw. I’d definitely agree Nix is an unnecessary complication for very little gain for the average user.

The real level up is bare-metal Emacs.

Shame this OS does not come with a solid text editor.

  Text editors are bloat, I only use punch cards

    Let’s skip all intermediate quotes and directly jump to the xkcd reference: I only program with butterflies. Of course, there is an Emacs command for that: good ol’ C-x M-c M-butterfly
