as someone who used NixOS on desktop for two years, using AerynOS shows NixOS is not really good for that use case yet (assuming you’re using what nixpkgs provides and not doing a major amount of overrides and patches and using alternative repositories).

It’s staggering how much more polished AerynOS is to NixOS on desktop. So my current take, AerynOS is great for an intermediate users desktop, NixOS is a good option for server.

Damn, didn’t the vote for greens end up greater than what they have received in the past? Like i even saw the ABC spin it like the greens lost steam this election. It seems kinda misleading, if not malicious to the purpose the greens aim to serve in politics (and so really any party left of labor). 👀

true, I don’t think it excludes the message that you can go against the government for good reasons though.

they could have told that story with the guy in 73 yards :) but kinda wrote with a bit of passive voice that sent a message more of “let someone else handle it”

thank you :D

i can also see 21 is the latest LTS version so that sounds like a good reason for that compromise too!

doesn’t thwarted just count as failed to deliver
