The best part of it is that it’s not just graphical: It’s a headless daemon that you can configure via config file, CLI or GUI.

That’s in stark contrast to i.e. CoreCtl which only operates while its window is open in a graphical desktop session.

AND have backups.

NixOS because it’s the only usable stab at sustainable system configuration.

I recommend borgbackup.

It has since taken away Gentoo’s raison d’être a bit in my head.

I wouldn’t say so. We currently don’t hold a candle to USE-flags. Many packages are already configurable but there’s no standard on anything w.r.t. that.

There’s no technical reason we couldn’t have such a standard but it hasn’t happened yet.

That’s Nix, not NixOS.

I also wouldn’t be too sure on that “explicit” part for Docker. It’s somewhat isolated, sure, but everything but explicit: you can download arbitrary data from wherever you like.

That isn’t going to help them one bit if they have a SteamVR HMD.

It recommends AMDVLK… meh

Is there a bridge like they have for IMAP btw?

Great way to show off you haven’t actually read any of the article past its title.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. One is a declarative Linux system environment creation solution and the other a daemon that starts sub-system environments using Linux namespaces.

You could in theory use NixOS to define a system environment that you’d run inside of a docker container. It’s a bit harder to get systemd running inside of Docker which NixOS heavily relies on but that’s beside the point. Easier integrations exist for LXD and systemd-nspawn which actually fulfil an equivalent purpose to Docker. The single component that is most comparable to Docker in a typical NixOS deployment would arguably be its init process (systemd), though its use extends far beyond setting up the namespace (the root namespace in this case).

It’s nice that it’s well integrated but that doesn’t mean it works well.

Power management of AMDGPUs has always been an absolute shitshow from my perspective.

With dGPUs they’ve now resorted to always running them in the highest power mode because they couldn’t get power management to properly function.

I can’t speak for modern intel GPUs but my old ones were fine.

Stable distros can and will backport security fixes. Good ones that is.

Does this now also allow for proper swapping?

Previously, if the VRAM was full, data would spill into system memory and there was no way to get it to move back into VRAM. One of the reasons cited was the lack of support for defragmentation.

Sadly ours isn’t in this regard.

Gaming with VRR is finally viable in this version!

You’d think so but IIRC when Phoronix tested it, Coreboot would always significantly underperform compared to the regular firmware. It wasn’t much but the effect was measurable.

That would be a reasonable explanation if we didn’t get an admission this was done very much intentionally so, with only the inability to even build being an unintended side-effect from the founder and CTO himself.

I’d invite you to actually read the two comments they made in the thread I linked, I get the feeling that you didn’t.

Two posts up from what I posted: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611#issuecomment-2424865225

Hi @brjsp, Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

1. the SDK and the client are two separate programs
2. code for each program is in separate repositories
3. the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

If anyone reading has proof of M$ spying on the German government they could whistle about, right about now would be a great time to do it ;)
