Good to see that. I was sceptical because literally ~2 days ago I saw a LLM gen’d PR not be outright rejected and the lead dev requested deletion unnecessary comments which meant they were open to the merge. Seeing how the change came yesterday makes far more sense.

E: Seems like 1 hour (E2: ago*) they even commented on the PR about the new policy: https://github.com/niri-wm/niri/pull/3246#issuecomment-5755531477

Whaaaaat? I vaguely remember some other dramas but not this one. Rimu is a gift that keeps on giving…

Oh lol. You’re not on unstable?

Uh oh. I thought it’s a common practice to use stable by default and unstable where needed for stability. Is this less common than I thought?

Around half a year based off my commits which in retrospect is a short amount of time. It took me off guard because it felt like around a year before checking. Probably because of the steep learning curve that put me through a lot in a short amount of time. Lol

I guess I will have my coming of age ceremony when I will bother doing my first major nixos update since I haven’t bothered doing one yet as I haven’t felt the need to warrant spending the time on it. ❄️

Oof. Good to know. I’m lucky enough to only use it personally on a smaller scale where once something is set up I don’t need to touch it again and if I do it’s easy to do with the previously set up foundation. Do you regret using NixOS? Or do you think there are better alternatives in which case which ones?

Yeah, nixos btw is a big commitment that works only if you have enough time and/or you highly value what it provides. Though if you have lots of time to get past the learning curve and get things going the maintenance becomes much less of an issue later on which is nice.

Yeah, people constantly confuse veganism for a diet.

Yes.

Okay, that put things into scale for me.

I mean, the top level comment refers to the title and not things breaking in general where OP complained about needing to troubleshoot right now before being able to be productive. Being able to postpone troubleshooting to when you can afford it is a massive benefit exactly for this reason where you need to get things done now or just want to do something else in the moment. For the same reason my root is on a ZFS pool with 2-way mirrored vdevs and I have (non-zfs) mirrored boot set up as well. No matter which of my drives fails I can take care of it later without any impact on my productivity or loss of data. I never used hyperland but heard of it stability issues ever so vaguely and while choosing different window manager (because that’s what it is to ppl) may have solved this specific issue at the cost of sacrificing preferences the expectation for your system to never break is absurd. Things will always break at some point and it can come from any direction. Being able to hande the breakage gracefully is the key part.

You can rollback and take care of it later when you have time spare.

Me when looking up a really promising game devlog a few years later when going over my ancient youtube subscriptions only to find out that they are a pos and a groomer. “Arcadian Rift” was the game’s to-be name iirc.
