I think the original commenter suggested autism because of OP’s rather… peculiar hyperfixation. Hyperfixations on atypical things are common in people on the spectrum.

To me, it’s either that or OP is very very young.

EDIT: also, star trek rules

For standalone desktops, Hyprland is undeniably your best base at the moment to write a window manager.

Well, it took him more than 2/3 of the post to mention hyprland, so I’ll give him props for that.

I recommend Lawnchair!

Wayland development is also well under way for Xfce.

I’d argue Fedora Atomic does the job with even less fuss for a larger number of people. NixOS is great if you want/need to tinker, but Fedora Atomic is just giddy up and go as long as you don’t require any specialized programs or drivers.

I say this as someone who currently uses NixOS on both of my computers.

It’s just a cute little comic strip that conveys a fun message.

It’s basically focused on establishing good community-centered governance, cleaning up the codebase, standardizing workflows (reconciling disparate parts of nix), and (I think?) eventually reimplementing the whole thing in Rust instead of C++.

Aux is only keeping the code on GitHub temporarily because money is tight and there are very few options for a soft fork of a repo as huge and active as nixpkgs. Plus, they want ease of accessibility for devs considering it’s a very new project.

Long term plans are to move off of GitHub. I’m pretty sure some people are talking to Codeberg to see how feasible it would be to move there in the future.

Okay? OpenSUSE Leap is a point release by and for companies. While Fedora isn’t necessarily a server distro, it IS a point release designed with enterprise use in mind.

If we look at both of their strictly enterprise counterparts, I’ve never heard of any complaints about SUSE and any complaints with RHEL I’ve heard are with source availability. Neither of them have the mega amounts of bad publicity of Canonical.

The lesson is to use a Community distro, not a Corporate distro.

Okay, but you don’t see these kinds of complaints with Fedora or SUSE. While I don’t necessarily disagree with your core point (community is better), this doesn’t seem like an issue with corporations so much as an issue strictly with Canonical.

Immutability, mainly.

These entities all have similar names and share similar origins, having been started by the founders of Open Collective and incubated in the Open Collective ecosystem, but are independent nonprofits with their own budget, accounts, staff, board of directors, and mission. They each have a separate commercial relationship with Open Collective. [emphasis not mine]

Open Collective, Inc. seemingly has nothing to do with OCF shutting down and neither entity has claimed anything to the contrary.

Right here.

This post also clarifies the differences between the entities that make up the Open Collective family and what this dissolution means.

Though I have yet to try Guix, I think I’d move over to it if they adopted something similar to flake support. The idea that it uses a non-arbitrary language for declaration is very appealing to me. Do you know if it’s simple enough to get non-free kernels, though?
