    Very well built patches and ways to share them. This is a good thing for gaming as we can try bleeding edge like Arch. But without having to rely on AUR or scripts to copy locally. Thanks to Nix Flakes you simply reference the flake someone shared (after double checking what is in it) and rebuild a NixOS derivation and voila, patch installed. I installed a complete SteamOS in 1 minute with this, reboot and everything works. Even with your locally signed in Steam account 👌



  • I hope they continue learning lessons from other OSes.

    I’m feeling like you are wrong about them outright copying. Some good things can be taken from macOS and Windows. But a lot of bad things too, which is why they are thinking it through.

    Please do not reduce the community effort to “cloning macOS”. It’s insulting to the people working on it… Apple doesn’t own modals or modal design.

    Here there are not 20 ways of putting 3 buttons in a modal. They just happen to choose a way that will also work on mobile I guess.

    Kudos for noticing this extra space which could enhance these kind of modals though.

    I don’t like everything Gnome has been doing, especially with the lack of customization or the status bar. But Gnome has been my go to for 7+ years and I like where it is going. Extensions are pretty fly too 👌




  • And much better gaming specs such as VRR, near complete HDR capabilities, … Multi monitors are better supported, more customization (albeit it’s harder to configure and get to the point you want sometimes).

    It’s not just color variants of the main interface 😇

    I’m thinking about switching as well for those reasons but I’m disappointed on the NixOS support of KDE. Gnome is configurable through dconf at least for a kinda NixOS way.
