  • I want to see how Open Source projects has gone after the crisis in 2017 (article is from 2006, where things were in a good plan). My first knowledge of Vzla using Open-Source projects on the Government was Canaima GNU/Linux and its usage on education with the Canaima Educativo.

    I saw IPTVNator wasn’t available on Nixpkgs (and probably would be rejected to avoid anything related to DMCA or some stuff of takedown), so I decided to port it to NUR (an external nixpkgs repo) and got it working. It is using the AppImage.

    So, if anyone is using Nix, you can install IPTVNator from NUR now :).

    Hm, I wouldn’t call it dying (unfortunately). See it when WhatsApp (part of Meta, or FB at that time) put the new Privacy Policy and it looked like people was finally going to leave the platform. It didn’t happen, they simply left and came back.

    I see the same happening with Fb (again, unfortunately).






  • Yes and no. Yes, graphically, you would like to use something that won’t make you despise your experience using a GNU/Linux distro. Some people can smoothly transition from a DE to another, or even use a TWM with no problems, but others are simply used to a single style, and that’s totally understandable.

    But, trying to complement to what @Ephera@lemmy.ml said, each distro will have its way to handle a bunch of other stuff. You can feel amazing using Garuda Linux but somehow despise the AUR experience, or using something like Xubuntu but hating apt. I found myself loving Elementary but despising apt, but now I am using Pantheon on NixOS and I love it.

    Maybe on Nick’s point, as we are talking about people being introduced to GNU/Linux, it is a very valid idea.
