IMO this rust shit is just an attempt to convert a GPL licensed ecosystem into the Corpo-CHUD preferred MIT license.

Just like with Clang, the Corpo is simply intolerably offended by being asked to contribute back to the community.

You can run either. The truth is depending on what you want to do, what hardware you running, and software versions you have available, your experience will be very different.

Personally I run X11 because I’m used to it. It’s extremely stable and the failure points are well known.

The waylandism design really bothers me, and so does the attitude of waylandists. Throwing stuff that works away for no reason, chasing some sort of Android trash ecosystem dream that’s never going to happen.

Whatever man, you’re taking xgamma away from me over my dead body. cocks shotgun. Come and get it.

After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.
