<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://catcatnya.com/@lexi" class="u-url mention">@<span>lexi</span></a></span> this sort of thing is why we operate on a &quot;i don&#39;t tell you what to run, you don&#39;t tell me what to run&quot; basis</p><p>amusingly, her linux machines work better than my linux machines, too</p><p>i&#39;ve made my peace with it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://functional.cafe/@loke" class="u-url mention">@<span>loke</span></a></span> I bought a web domain and hosting about 23 years ago and it came with e-mail so I&#39;ve been using that ever since.</p><p>I know you have Nextcloud (I have stuff hosted at home too) but sometimes having a second server is useful. Back up onto both and it becomes super robust.</p>

<p>(writing this made me realize that if i bought her an ultrabook instead of the ancient brick shaped thinkpad she got because it was $180 we would have less weight to carry around)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://catcatnya.com/@lexi" class="u-url mention">@<span>lexi</span></a></span> yeah like if you have the type of ocd that latches onto nixos i get it</p><p>to me it feels a combination of unnecessarily restrictive with uselessly esoteric. if i was fine with that i would run windows, like my headmate does (she has an active directory domain on her vpn. she is normal™)</p>

<p>(this is why i will always have my own laptop. carrying two laptops in our backpack is hard, but it feels light as a feather compared to the burden of using nixos)</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://catcatnya.com/@lexi" class="u-url mention">@<span>lexi</span></a></span> like i use it on my servers because it&#39;s clearly and unambiguously better than *ansible* but i wouldn&#39;t use it on my desktop</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://catcatnya.com/@lexi" class="u-url mention">@<span>lexi</span></a></span> i would never switch to nixos from debian</p>
