How long does your nixos-rebuild --switch take?
  • I agree that adding every package to my NixOS configuration isn't the right way to do things, and I should definitely use a devshell or nix-shell -p $package for that. However, it's much more noticeable when I'm working with something like an HTTP server, constantly adding new things to the config, and needing to wait 25 seconds to actually test it.

  • It varies by day. Some days, I rebuild the system flake five times, while other weeks I don't rebuild it at all. However, the time it takes to rebuild remains about the same.

  • How long does your nixos-rebuild --switch take?

    I'm a beginner/intermediate in NixOS and my flake rebuild takes about 25 seconds to be finished. Most of the time is evaluating derivation for some reason and it's getting kinda frustrating having to wait when I want to add a package to my config. Has anyone the same problem or is it normal that it takes this long in Nix?

  • The default built-in GUI Microsoft Store absolutely positively sucks. The winget package manager is also not meant for the regular people.

  • I like how they monetized their API and data because they don't want it to be used to train AI models, and now they are selling user data for millions to OpenAI.

  • Distro suggestions?
  • Can't really recommend Manjaro to new users after the fairly recent controversies.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
  • The next release of FlorisBoard should come soon (hopefully) after the main dev finishes the NLP core implementation. Even if not, I still don't mind using it.

    Spell correction works but isn't implemented that well. You need to change the default Android spell checker and then find some raw dictionary of words. But it works in the end.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
  • Definitely Florisboard as it has the most features and best theming support but I was using AnySoftKeyboard in the past and it's okay too.
