From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.

  • Nix (OS, the package manager, and the language) having excellent and exhaustive documentation.
  • It being so easy to use that my grandmother could use it. Heck, a GUI to handle packages would be amazing!

I dont think thats really the goal here. NixOS is not designed to be used by your grandmother. Better Documentation would sometimes be nice though.
By the way, there already is https://github.com/vlinkz/nixos-conf-editor

A file picker which doesn't hurt my brains. I'm also looking to avoid tinkering as much as possible with CosmicOS + Virgo laptop.

Anything wrong with the KDE file picker?
