  • I love how all the comments have caveats. Maybe that’s just the Lemmy demographic.

    I’ve got a weird relationship with anime. Never really watched it as a kid, except for pokemon.

    Two of my best friends were weebs in high school, so I got into some there, went to some cons with them after graduation. I’d binge with college friends pretty regularly, but it’s never really been something I seek out on my own for some reason. I guess I’m a social watcher.

    My taste is odd for it, too. It’s mostly about gems in the rough and based on vibes. A lot just doesn’t hit, and I can’t always tell why some things do.



  • No distro is really based on a window manager or desktop environment. Some provide defaults and premade configs. I kind of doubt any include hyprland as an option at installation, but, Wayland compatibility notwithstanding, there’s nothing stopping you from throwing hyprland on whatever you would like. The best approach is to take a Wayland-ready setup, like Leaflet suggests, and just install hyprland.

    I went from Arch to NixOS and I’ve been loving it. I also had all the time on the world to dive in with several machines to fall back to.

    There are a lot of layers to wade through especially when you need a specific tool like your UE5 case. As others are saying, there are ways to make everything work, nix or non-nix, it’s just more to work through after getting the bases covered.

    Anecdotally, I had little trouble getting set up on my MSI laptop with an RTX2070, Primus and all. That was after learning the ropes on a Ryzen IdeaPad.

    Rambling aside, I would definitely make sure to start in a non-mission-critical way, but do jump right in if you’re comfortable. Maybe if you can stomach the Asus a bit longer, or get the Framework set up and play around with the Asus. And ask plenty of questions! I know I’m not alone in jumping in on nix questions any way I can :)





  • I have also been searching for a microblogging instance that doesn’t have so many random blocks. It seems most instances block more liberally than even the more closed off Lemmy instances. Due to the sheer size of mastodon and number of other services, it kind of makes sense. I’m definitely getting paralysis-by-analysis trying to choose, though. It might help to consider newer forks like iceshrimp and sharkey, too, even just for their functionality. Or maybe that will make choosing harder? Lol *you already mentioned forks, my mistake!

    But still, like I said, I haven’t landed on anything in particular. It just seems more segmented, whereas with Lemmy, the biggest instances have pretty much identical front pages. I fear missing out on something too much…

    Sorry if I’m kind of rambling and not really any help. Your post just reflected my experience of trying to find something. Hopefully we’ll get there!



  • My first reaction was also to make fun, but it kinda seems neat and it’s different, which I welcome. Really hope there’s plans to support one strip across monitors cause that would be kind of dope to look at.

    Edit: also I’ve had a pretty easy time with a 2070 running Wayland once the drivers and wm are right. I did manage to mess up my old nixos generations trying to get started and changing things around lmao. Landed on hyprland, and it’s smooth.
