I can tell you that the GitHub code isn’t the code that’s used

really? given that the license is AGPL and they do have some external contributors, they shouldn’t be running an unpublished branch of the code!

look at their responses in the .ml cross-post,

that post is now deleted, but you can see their modlog here

the correct spelling is zealand

fair point, i’ll try to refrain from it next time

I doubt it; it would be odd if they were named after a fictional Dutch-American :)

1 reason it’s wrong to me: https://nosystemd.org/

Under “Notable bugs and security issues” there is a big list of issues which were all (afaict) fixed many years ago.

There have been reasonable philosophical objections to systemd, some of which are still relevant, and as that site shows there are still many distros without it, but for the vast majority of desktop users who want something that JustWorks… using a mainstream distro with systemd is the way to go.

This blog post from pmOS covers some of the pain of trying to use KDE or GNOME without it.

Microchess was first commercially available in 1976, but chess software was being published long before that.

Would be easier to know how old a kernel release is without looking it up.

I concur, but it would be much easier to make the major version the current year (as many projects do, and Linux should imo) rather than the whole project’s age at the time of a release.

Linux is only 34 years old, btw.

no transcoding quality loss

is jellyfin actually transcoding when people don’t want it to?!

otherwise, “no transcoding” doesn’t sound like a feature. transcoding is very useful when you actually need it, eg watching something remotely which is stored at a higher bitrate than your network connection can stream. one way to do it with mpv is ffmpegfs, btw.

(fellow mpv user here; i’ve only used other people’s jellyfin instances… but i’d be very surprised if they’re always unnecessarily transcoding everything they watch.)

nope.

they were just solid colored without symbols

I have to ask: what’s with all the obsession with immutable distro?

I guess the promise of having updates JustWork™? I don’t currently use one but I see the appeal.

However FWIW, unlike its namesake ChromeOS, the “Nixbook OS” this post is about is not actually an immutable distro: the instructions are to install NixOS normally and then clone the nixbook repo into /etc/nixbook and run its install.sh. Among other things it installs an update service which runs git pull on that repo as well as running nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade and flatpak update --noninteractive --assumeyes etc.

Cheers to this guy for what he’s doing, but the name is a little confusing. This approach works but it is not nearly as robust as the immutable distro paradigm implied by the name.
