I mean, sure, it works... But USBC would also just work. They already use it on their laptops (with them being huge proponents of thunderbolt and USBC), and iPads.

google has a dumbass @ the helm

NixOS is as mature as arch, I'd say, but because of its nature it has issues here and there, but rarely so.

That said, the learning curve for nix/nixos is very very very steep, so good luck learning. It took me a while for me to use it nicely, and even then, I'm nothing more than a beginner. Even so, I'm quite comfortable and pretty much can't use any other linux distro.

Every single platform has them. From anything centralized to decentralized.

That's nice. Hopefully it getting more notorious means that HW companies will support it better. But, at the same time, if this is just from the Steam Deck, then, kinda fugged

Sometimes you need a quick/clear fix and the documentation doesn't help with that. SO, though, is.

Nixos. For all its complexity and dilemmas and issues it has given me, it's the comfiest for me and gives me really cool features

Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it's great. There's even the NUR, but I havent used it.

It's so kino. Incredibly hard to learn and much more to master, but much more powerful. Nothing beats easily modifying a derivation's source, or adding patches or build options or whatever you want.

Things are getting better as snaps and flatpaks gain popularity, but both of those systems have lots of issues of their own, and arguably aren’t anywhere near as good as a proper native package for your distro. Flatpaks don’t really work for CLI tools. Snaps are stupidly slow. Both snaps and flatpaks still struggle with theming. Applications installed with either take up way more space than their natively-packaged equivalents.

Flatpaks would beat native packages if they didn't have a trillion papercuts and issues. I'm on NixOS because I want to avoid using flatpak.

Fedora has COPR, Opensuse has the OBS (which also works for other distros), NixOS (my beloved) has overlays...

That's so nice. Husky for Android (pleroma/akkoma/soapbox) app works nicely, but is broken in some places and aesthetically outdated.
