This is one of my favourite. I wish the cat was animated or a virtual pet

Yeeeeeeeeees

Bit off a dreamland, but if I did have friends/family move to Linux from windows a distro with easy checkpointed rollback would be ideal from a support perspective, but agree it’s more of a niche / industry concern then a non technical home user thing

Might be worth looking into immutable distros (nix, guix) and their home management systems, or containerised apps (flatpak, where you can inject config). A lot of tools are hardcoded to non standard locations so it’s kind of a losing battle by default. A similar strategy would be to use permissions or mount certain folders as read only.

Yay more options

Wow, was pretty heavily bombarded by domains ads just a few weeks ago!

Welcome! noot noot

Mostly remember looking at the printer in a game shop thinking I’ll never afford this. Very cool result.

Yep podman is FOSS. It was developed by redhat originally, which might be concerning to some given the recent news about RHEL, but that’s probably not relevant. Use it for homeassistant, etc and it can be less ready-out-the-box than normal docker but works well on the whole. Mind you if you have an issue with docker-the-system rather than any docker.io controversy, then it probably isn’t for you either.

Thanks for taking the time, I didn’t know about nonguix! Not a big emacs perso, but do live in vim. Probably going to give guix a try this weekend, thanks for the inspiration.

Have you also tried nix, if so did you have any particular reason to stick with guix (maybe the Foss aspect)?

Nice. Any links?
