Unmapped

I'm new to NixOS. Do I have to do anything extra to update NixOS? Or do I just update my flake and run nixos-rebuild switch --flake like I normally do to update packages?

I was looking into rust desk. It looked like the perfect solution for remotly helping my family members. The problem is I have them running silverblue. I don't think rust desk supports Wayland. There is a experimental way I was going to try, but I'm not sure how to install it since its not in Fedora repo or flatpak.

I'm not sure if it is exactly the same on Iphone. But on Android you can choose to either pay for the app( a one time payment) or have Plex pass. Either way lets you watch on the mobile app.

I'll admit this feature should have definitely been opt-in. But when the update came out there was a big pop-up on your screen when you logged in. Where you just turned all of this off and hit save. It is super easy to disable.

The sharing what I watch with friends part is dumb. But it is pretty cool how you can recommend stuff to friends.

Self hosting. I was using windows to host teamspeak and game servers. I first got into linux by switching my homelab to linux and running everything in docker containers and VMs. Then from there I started using it on a desktop and laptop as well. Started on manjaro for years. Then went to arch for a year or two. And now I've switched everything over to NixOS.

Interesting. I think I understand. Would using distrobox with Arch or Ubuntu be another way to make a environment that would work?

I have only been on nixos a few weeks. Absolutely loving it. I keep seeing people talking about this needing to use steam-run for binaries. I don't understand what this means at all tbh. I'm a newbie web Dev so everything I've made so far has just been running in Firefox and node. Will I ever have to worry about this? Or is this just a issue for making software outside of the browser?

I started using nixos three weeks ago. I use it every day on desktop now, and also switched my homelab serve to it. These videos on Vimjoyer's channel where a great starting point. I recommend trying to go straight to using a flake to update your system instead of channels. Its confusing to get setup, but makes so much sense once you do.

The ad filled clones are definitely a thing. Just search for newpipe in the Play Store and you will see them. A lot of people don't know about the fdroid store so when they hear about newpipe they search on Play Store and end up downloading a fake one full of ads.

I always keep GIMP and VLC player installed. If you get comfortable using command line. Tmux and Neovim are a great duo.

I wanted to like it. It looked so good. But I could only get about a hour into it, and did not like it sadly. I'm sure it gets better, but I couldn't get there.
