Because the system incentivizes it. Not being a cunt is not in their interests, but making as much money as realistically possible is. If they get punished for it, what will it be? A couple million? Thats just a few days of operational profits, or in other words “cost of doing business”.
I’ve been building up my Helix setup, and its been fantastic. Got tired of constantly fighting corporate stuff
We’ve seen W11 be installed on one of the first ever x86_64 machines with enough success. Obviously there are missing cpu instructions, but the majority of requirements differences between 10 and 11 are just bs, and an attempt at forced obsolescence
It’s actually crazy, that we live in a world, where a computer that was mid to high-end 4 years ago, can be called obsolete now, because… windows 11 says it is? It doesn’t make any fucking sense. All just to attempt to gaslight people into using secureboot
Arent these directories already symlinked on essentially any mature distribution?
My biggest issue with Nyx, and the reason why I’ve yanked it out of my flake twice now, is because unfortunately this repo has no quality control.
If the Nix foundation Hydra fails, the whole merge is cancelled. If Nyx’ build system fails, they just write the broken packages into the equivalent of shit_that_broke.json, and still push it.
Given that I’ve only wanted to use 1 package from the entire repo, it is shocking that it’s both impossible to bisect for debugging, but also increasingly frustrating to get any help with.
This is especially obvious for kernel packages, where nixos-unstable is a little behind Nyx, so fully expect your builds to error out frequently, if you use applications, reliant on specific kernel functions, like what openrgb/openrazer people experienced a few releases ago
I’ve just installed openwrt on any tplink hardware I still have, and have 0 regrets in doing so
They have repeatedly caused a ddos on Arch servers, ignored security concerns, had supply chain issues when it comes to Pinephones (and more).
On top of that, their deployment strategy for core repositories is just a rollout delay with practically 0 quality assurance, which is even more bizarre, granted that they butcher perfectly functional Arch pkgsbuilds. No idea for why they continue to imply this somehow improves stability. Stability in what?
There’s a reason why people don’t recommend it, and there’s a reason why you shouldn’t either.
