- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's not so much about being "smart" to figure it out, it's more like it needs to "click" with you. At first you'll think it's stupid, you'll think it's a tedious way to do things and configure your system. Then you'll do something and it'll suddenly be like "oooooh I get it now, oh man that's awesome!". That's NixOS.
It's not a distro I recommend to people, it's one you just have to play around with yourself to see if you like it or not. But I will say I've found that the majority of people who do switch to it, it's the last distro they use. Like I'll spend a week on something else every few months to try it but I always go back to NixOS now. I just can't use any other distro long term anymore.
