I really love NixOS and use it on all my devices. Its not as difficult as people say and it really makes the linux experience a piece of cake once you get it down.

The single config file to control almost everything is just what I was looking for in linux and the fact that it solved any kind of dependency hell I have experienced in the past is huge. If I had to list a top 3 it would be NixOS, Fedora, and Arch.

As far as I was aware AMDGPU is used by default on most if not all distros so I still think its a bit confusing to decide which to use for your needs at first unless you check the video I linked. I noticed a performance increase after forcing RADV on NixOS so not really sure.

Sidenote why cant AMDGPU and RADV combine their efforts to simplify and rename AMDGPU-PRO to AMDGPU-unfree because that itself is confusing since most people will be drawn to use the PRO version without realising the worse performance.

Most people will tell you there is no difference between AMDVLK drivers and RADV but clearly there is since RADV is what Valve uses for the Steam Deck. Heres a great video comparing the three options AMD has for linux.

I personally chose RADV after looking into this myself and the only drawback from my understanding is that they are proprietary drivers. Do not use AMDGPU-PRO ever though.

Attention zombies: do not eat brains

This is cool but I like OpenRGB better since it includes more than just specifically razer products

I tried that and it wasnt good. Though I was on windows at the time. So Waydroid is a godsend, its pushy with the licensing which was annoying to deal with.

I love the vimix cursors

Extremely barebones but im glad for the effort

I also use Tailscale and even bought mullvad access through them. Definitely the easiest and most valuable subscription I have.

Oh hell yeah this will save us AMD users so much headache, I really dont understand why it was taken down recently.

From what I understood it was AMD having a problem with ZLUDA but now suddenly its okay again? Whatever as long as ROCM is improved or benefitted by this im happy.

Servo hype

Servo is incredibly exciting to look forward to rather than Ladybird imo. The name of this browser and engine are perfect aswell.

Its in perpetual beta like lawnchair where the only releases are betas/alphas while the stable is left behind quite a lot

Not everyone likes to use commands for something as trivial as this, its nice to press a couple buttons and wait for it to be done vs learning how dd works and what arguments to use etc.

Yeah I wish it had a different name but it works for every distro via flatpak. I like using it that way but im sure it works well as a package for most distros.

weird? more like predatory and monopolistic. “everything” apps should not be a thing, doing one thing and doing it well is a thing of the past I guess.

Fedora Media Writer is the best, I hardly use BalenaEtcher but its good too incase the former doesnt work

Boost but its not open source

Id say around 80% since I use a lot of foss programs and only use linux/android/openwrt/brother printers. The other 20% is random proprietary stuff like steam I guess to be generous.

I know im just tired of stuff breaking on purpose just because of the stupid fingerprinting user agent
