Sure would

Correct, a lot of ppl who started using emacs at inception still do so today.

Or Motorola

Yeah… better to get there on time and then slack off at work.

because the poor people would have more money to consume, therefore companies would sell more

How long until these surpluses end up in the pockets of the billionaires who would then use them to remove these tax laws?

If it isn’t the US version, you can unlock and install LineageOS 22.2 on your S10

Mozilla?

which is why I’ll never give my money to them, regardless of how cheap and featureful their devices are.

SourceHut is another option, both can be self-hosted.

He’s also making life very hard for himself by being arrogant and terrible at communication

Isn’t he just trying to do things his ways?

You can also check out RethinkDNS

< love to see this guy’s head on a pike.

same here

It has options to deny network access to apps, though it’s a bit hidden in the network settings for each app instead of thru a “Firewall” app

You can check out RethinkDNS for blocking or isolating apps.

Find different channels and substitute servers or create your own

You have to setup a Nix service and do some symlink-ing

personally I like Arch first and foremost because I can (and do) have a local repo by rsyncing a rotation of mirrors couple of times a week.

Are these mirrors for prebuilt packages? If not, you should be able to pull from other channels, create your own channel and include all your packages while building them locally.

Also, welcome to Guix System Distribution, I hope you stick around

Let’s say I’m working on a project that requires Go, Node, maybe some C library, and GNU Make. Seems like I would be able to use guix shell for this, right? Great.

Iirc guix shell is for one off package or programs you want to test, say you want to quickly format a drive to exfat or so, when you exit the sub-shell, the installed packages are discarded

guix shell containers would work best for your scenario but I have little experience with them

Size and gnome/GTK dependencies are main reasons why I don’t use Flatpaks (I have nothing against gnome though, it just pulls in too much and KDE is worse in this regards, which is why I use Sway and River)

I’m just seeing your comment after I recommended Guix, that I could read and understand Guile Scheme is what made me hop away from NixOS, the nixlang is an ungrokable mess

I absolutely hate the language

Check out Guix_System_Distribution, it’s just like NixOS but uses a Scheme dialect which is a better language.
