Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

    Same here, I’ve got an eGPU connected to 3 external monitors and lack of hotplug is killer. I have spent hours working with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, PopOS, Fedora, etc. to try and get hot plug/unplug to work–the best one so far is Kubuntu with open source drivers, as long as no programs are running when I unplug it it doesn’t crash half the time!

    Windows works flawlessly, even if a program is using the GPU it’ll kill that program but the OS and all other programs will keep running. As soon as I can get that working in Linux, I’ll use it full time–I’ve already adapted my workflow over to cross-platform apps (LibreOffice, Logseq, Joplin, Thunderbird, Firefox, FreeCAD), and the fact that I’m sticking with Windows just for eGPU support is annoying
