You won’t need a terminal unless you refuse to use the GUI tools that do the same thing.
If you want to use the terminal, go for it and use the default. If you eventually find it lacking THEN start investigating different options.
Just use everything as you normally would otherwise, and you shouldn’t notice a huge shift.


Well, no. Not to shoot down your comment or anything, but you’ve only learned a lot about Nix still in your example.
For instance, if someone presented you with an Arch system of some sort and asked why a certain systems unit wasn’t working, or why the speakers on their laptop don’t work but the headphones jack does, or why their Nvidia kmod modules aren’t loading.
Your experience with Nix is t going to help with some of the more basic functions of a traditional Linux system because of the abstractions in top of abstractions that you’re used to interacting with on Nix.
I’m not even digging on Nix, like I said, it was designed for a very specific purpose. I’ve run hundreds, if not thousands, of various build system permutations on Nix over the years, and even I wouldn’t even think about using it for really basic stuff like running a Desktop 🤣


If you simply just want to track config file changes, use a flat git repo, or something like Ansible.
That’s going to be a helluva lot simpler for you to learn and execute on.


Traditional and Immutable distros as working OSes are not knowledge compatible at all. The software that runs on it is the same, but everything else about how they run, are executed, managed, installed…etc, all different.
Nix is Immutable, and on top of that, has an entire configuration language you need to manage.
If you’re not familiar with a standard Linux OS, you’re going to have a bad time, I can tell you that.
As far as your concepts of “random commands” not being used as part of the running of a system, that is not quite correct. You will still to track adhoc changes to different services or configurations that would then need to also be applied and executed in a NiX config in the proper place to ensure proper order of execution.
Let’s just say it’s an advanced system that serves a purpose meant for repeatable testing and CI/CD type operations. It’s not really meant to be a user-friendly system to make managing your desktop easier, so. don’t misunderstand this one important fact.


I would use any other venue available than FB Marketplace, honestly.
I’ve seen this exact same video done by like five different people. Are they content milling dumb shorts now? Key-Rist.


Everything I can find says he was killed in El Salvador by a local militant group. What am I not getting here?


Thought I’d actually applaud something decent being done by the Catholic Church. Can’t wait to see Stephen Miller’s violent rhetoric in response to this one 🤣


Friend…you need to chill. Gonna leave it there because you seem to have issues regulating.


No, it’s not.
Someone who didn’t own or had a penchant for guns in the first place wouldn’t SUDDENLY get all crazy about guns as you’re suggesting. It’s simply not a thing.
Whatever your crazy insecurities are about this, it’s not about the OP who is simply asking about being restrained in a way. Not because they are prone to it, but because they don’t know what’s going to happen.
You’re just some insecure assholes making this about you. Fuck off.


Yep. That’s what dementia is like.
OP has been consumed and understands this, and is asking about this because they are wondering if they might fall into a state and end up doing something they would normally not do. It’s a good question to ask.


Okay, but again, you’re missing the entire point of the conversation.
This is a person worried about losing their rational mind.
You’re trying to describe rationality.
That’s not how memory loss works. At. All.
You’re making this about YOU, and it has nothing to do with you. Only the person who asked the question.


There are segments of the population that FEEL like it’s a god given right to have guns.
People with dementia revert back to a specific mind state that doesn’t register there is an issue, hence this person’s question.
Somebody with Alzheimer’s or any stage of Dementia may just walk down the street and buy a gun. Which is my real question.
Does this person FEEL like they SHOULD own a gun? If it’s something they would normally not think about, it’s unlikely that they would-at any stage of memory loss-go and get a gun.
These diseases don’t completely change your personality and suddenly make you a different creature of habit, they just revert you back to certain spaces where your neural paths make sense and operate on that.


Honest question though: do you think you SHOULD own a gun?


Didn’t SCOTUS already say the President can do whatever the fuck they want and not be held accountable?
Good luck with that, dumpyturd


Wasting even more tax dollars in courts doing something blatantly illegal.


The same reason your house isn’t a pure “air” environment.
Carbon Dioxide is heavier than all the components that make up the air you breathe. In a greenhouse they have fans that move air around, because stagnant air would generally be bad for both plants and humans. You’ll notice a gap in all greenhouse environments to the ground.
CO2 gets pulled in, but eventually pushed out because of its weight, but enters in from the ambient atmosphere being injected by the fans.


It’d be a shame if something…happened to 'em
Lemme guess…fall guy who will claim to be affiliated with “Antifa” somehow even though no such organization exists 🤣
