NixOS
Alternatively (speculating here), you might be able to use Nix to install Hyprland onto an existing immutable distro like Silverblue.
Nix people please chime in!

The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.
If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!
Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.
I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.
It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.
If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.
Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you’re looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
The meme is great, but I don’t understand the bottom text.
Is OP saying they’re completely unaware of systemic sexism in academia?
I wish I had a fraction of that positivity.
Great post! Completely agree! I will add that for filling out PDF Forms, Okular is amazing!
SMB is originally Windows tech. So it might not play nicely with file modes?
Sure, some probably do. And you can be sceptical and discuss why that’s a dangerous and undemocratic direction. Effective Altruism is a question, not an answer. In thr community, asking for and being open to critical feedback is encouraged as the main tenet of good culture.
But if you look at the amounts, most EAs donate most to helping the poorest people alive today. Because it is so obviously good, and proven to work with high certainty.

This is excellent! Each step can be Googled but for a quick summary:
A wine or proton prefix is like a small Windows filesystem inside your Linux. This is how you run most games. Steam normally hides this from you, but it does this exact thing: one proton prefix per game.
On Nobara and Fedora, you will not need to worry about duplicating files and wasting space at all: they use a very advanced filesystem which (among other things) does not actually repeat files but just goes “this file is the same as the earlier one, just read that” and saves on disk space that way. You don’t see this in the file explorer, you can just copy a file a hundred times but it will not consume a hundred times the disk space. Very cool stuff. And very useful with proton tricks.
This is the perfect answer. Complete, free, open source and secure!
I agree that Konsole are Kitty are both lovely terminals that are very configurable. Kitty for text file people vim enthusiasts and Konsole for GUI lovers.
By “questionable update policy”, do you mean that it is updated by the package manager when installed from official repositories but it has an auto-updater functionality for users installing it manually?
IIRC someone who compiled from source but didn’t set the flag/config to disable the auto-updater was surprised about that.
I don’t see the big deal of it to be honest. The vast majority of users will be installing through the package manager. If you compile from source, you can decide yourself whether you want it to auto-update. The whole point of compiling from source is the extra control, not the defaults, I’d guess. Unless you don’t know what you are doing and the package was not available for your distro and in that case, enabling auto-update by default even serves that user group.
This is pretty sick. Not just flatpaks but easily install any application, using apt or dnf package managers, or deb or rpm files, in a container with a simple syntax. Wow. Wrap a GUI around it and this may be a winning formula for an easy and stable Linux desktop.
Ah yeah that looks perfect, just get WayBlue Hyprland then! That sounds like exactly what you need.
No need to mess about with user services in systemd and display manager config.
