@mintycactus NixOS can install to your hard drive. I have it on my laptop and it runs beautifully. I have issues with Gnome and their insistence on removing things like remembering window size and positions, and recently making it so hard to theme, but I am sure these will iron out with time.

My plasma desktop, however, is my favorite. Once I got it where I wanted it, it just worked so well and looked so good that I recommend it to everyone (BigLinux with KDE)

@mintycactus to you and me that’s true, but to a person just starting with Linux, it could be complex. I think systems like Silverblue, Vanilla OS, and NixOS are great, but I would not suggest them to a new user of Linux.

@Static_Rocket @zShxck for a second there I thought he was revealing his favored sexual positions

@mintycactus @jack silverblue is not more user friendly than mint, not by any metric. A system with an immutable file system simply cannot be so. The immutability of the system often adds levels of complexity that an average person would have trouble understanding

@ultra you proved you’re just looking for an excuse to hate these systems.

@yum13241 again, just looking for excuses to hate.

@ultra @NeoNachtwaechter why would you want to do that?

@yum13241 you have to recompile for Linux arm too, right? It seems you just want excuses to hate macOS.

[–] Shrexios@mastodon.social 0 points 2 years ago (5 children)

@yum13241 but you don’t actually have to do that as x86 versions will run on a Mac.

@airikr @sjosjo personally, I prefer Nemo for one reason, it will start in two pane mode. Thunar does not.

@yum13241 I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve used many open source programs on macOS, already compiled and already packaged to work on Mac’s. What version of macOS are you referring to, 7?
