  • NixOS is still a Linux system, and the configuration still translates to stuff you have in a very similar way on every other Linux system too (with the exception of what’s needed for the file system layout to work). It’s not some kind of magic. I’ve probably learned as much stuff applicable to general Linux distributions as while using Arch and Gentoo.

    Of course, if you only use the high-level options and the graphical installer that may be different, but then comparing it to those distros is very disingenuous.







  • It’s crazy that the in-app browser isn’t an OS-level overlay that the app can’t influence or look at what the user is doing in it. It would be totally feasible to implement, at least in theory.

    Exact same as with the photos chooser on iOS which should really work in a way that the app never sees your entire photo library except for the photos you end up selecting, but it still being visible in the overlay, which would also allow them to get rid of that incredibly dumb permissions system it has.


  • Yeah, same with GIMP. I would love to use it on my Mac since I already use it and am comfortable with it on Linux, but it’s noticeably slow for some reason and you shouldn’t even try using it with the touchpad. The windows especially in multi-window mode don’t behave as you’d expect, the keybinds don’t either, it’s very meh all around. I was wondering whether I should get Affinity but I guess with this it’s a no.
