I installed SwayFX, but no program wanted to open in Wayland despite XWayland being installed, complaining about "no x server", even the wayland-native programs. I gave up and went to XFCE4, then back to SwayFX because Wayland magically started workinng.

Sounds neat. I am really considering NixOS, that's why I'm asking for advice here. It really sounds like a nice and more convenient distro. Sadly, I still haven't figured out how to make my own builders, even after Nix Pills. Thankfully, programs like crate2nix exist.
Sounds great, but I don't like editing a config file every time I want to install an app,.
Generally when over time you start installing more and more stuff and you forget to remove it and it feels clunky and bloated.
Right now I have a VM running NixOS, so I can figure things out. What annoys me is that when asked to list all the programs I want to use, I struggle, but installing things on the fly is so much more easier. Nix-env does that, but it doesn't add it to a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, does it? Also, I know about home-manager, but I've heard it's extrememly difficult.
That's extremely inconvenient. Especially if you have important files you need to backup.
dun dun duuuuunnnnnn Yea, there aren't. Your life is a lie.
If it's an understandable amount of ads, I'll disable ad block. If the site bombards me with an unjustifiable amount of ads (like adblock-tester level of ads) then I'll re enable adblock in seconds. Same goes for if they serve scam ads like those 'virus detected' or 'hot singles in your area' malvertisements
Yea, same. Ads have gotten so obnoxious to the point where the freaking FBI considers adblock an essential part of proper internet hygiene.
yea, going to the big instances is bad because those instances are overloaded and struggling to keep up with demand. you should change instance, go to lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works, both have some pretty nice rules, aren't banned by any big instance (except beehaw), and sh.itjust.works runs purely on renewable energy, which is nice.
my first account has a join date of june 12th. right when the blackout hit. i've been through the exact same stuff. and i think i've been on lemmy long enough to say: welcome, july 1st refugees!
