AFAIK everything was dropped in the end, and people went back to using audacity

Yeah, who'd hate using a package manager that increasingly slows down your boot time with every package installed, or that uses a closed source store to provide you FOSS

Maybe there's a reason canonical has to force it on their users

No, Debian doesn't take your apt install ... command and install a snap behind your back...

Both look really cheap, and are badly designed, especially when compared to lotr.

For example look at the angles on the chest.

Boromir's armour is angled to deflect incoming strikes. So if someone tries to stab him in the chest, the strike will slide off. It makes sense, and is the basis of good, functional armour throughout history.

Now look at these other two. You can aim for the heart, miss and hit the ribs, and the tip will still slide and go under the pec. It directs all strikes towards your heart instead of away from it.

It's far more simple than that. The students are predominantly nobles, and they pretty much completely cut all ties to their previous lives.

So why would you send a hot daughter to become a witch when you can marry her and make political gains? You send the disfigured one so you don't have to waste any more money on her.

The 5th son doesn't need to be disfigured to be essentially useless in the political world.

1. in the currently evaluated year 2023 the battery accounts for 44.1 percent of breakdowns

2. 3-10 year old combustion cars vs electric cars only having enough registered models to start observing their reliability in 2021

Sega took that as a challenge

Flying would be a very high demand service and could be sold for much more than what a train ticket costs. If it was feasible, it would have already been done.

Try it, the worst thing that can happen is you waste a few hours, get mad, break your PC, and get a brain aneurysm

1. As you can see from the state of this thread, people see nix or nixpkgs but read nixos. There's no momentum from the community to push it as an extra package manager, while every thread is spammed with nixos.

2. No gui integrations for casuals. For example Discover integrates flatpaks and snaps, but for nix you need to use the terminal.

3. The documentation is abysmal. I spent days trying to figure out how to use nix as a declarative package manager before I accidentally came across home-manager. Even the manual leads you down the wrong path. A quick start guide with a few examples for home-manager and flakes, and a few basic commands, would've had me going in 5 minutes. That problem is made worse by the fact that almost all sources of info focus on nixos instead.

Edit:

if anyone's interested in trying it out, here's a part of my other comment in this thread

It's just a list of packages, and an optional flake to control the repositories (stable/unstable) and add packages from outside of the official ones.

To update everything nix related I just run:

cd ~/dotfiles/nix/ && nix flake update && home-manager switch
