Ooff, yeah, though one.

If you start here where does it end.

I read this as:
Looking for a Half-Life Linux distro

Which instances would you say are not afflicted?

I’m listening … 🍿

I just moved to Ubuntu from Fedora Silverblue, for some $reasons. I regret it already.

It is not a lie, it is how copyright works.
If you are against it, then be against it. But do not claim they are lying.

This is why things like CC-BY-SA, copyleft and other licenses exist.

Ironically, that “good” person is no longer in such a position.
Thus, one could question once again whether “good” people can be in such a position.

It has a similar form factor, but this is not a folding bike.

Yes, I do this with Ansible :).

There are Flatpak modules and gsettings modules to set up Gnome to your liking.

I also build my own toolbox using ansible-container.

dotdrop, because different dotfiles per OS/hist is supported (I am usingfedora, Ubuntu, Debian, macOS but you can configure it as you wish).

NixOS is hard to explain.
I also did not get it at first, but got into a 101 session at cfgmgmtcamp last year and then it clicked.

I would suggest looking at YouTube videos like this one and try to understand what NixOS really is.

It is a pity really that it is not more approachable, the project would have more success if it is somehow easier to explain to others that are new to it :).

No issues running it in Flatpak so far for light gaming.
