@codevsdev Haskell. Already learning it & I’m loving it so far!

if you could master one programming language overnight, which would it be and why?

@MeltingSnowBro DuckDuckGo. If you don’t need or want an AI overview/search-assist, totally give Ecosia a try tho.

What search engine do people even use anymore?

@mikeydsoftware Today, writing a new nixpkg.

Question: When was the last time you used your brain and debugged something manually? 🤔

@sheinspire0azw 16GiB is more than enough if you don’t work with local LLMs or crazy compiler stuff.

In 2027, How much RAM is actually enough for coding? 8 GB 16 GB 32 GB 64 GB 128 GB 256 GB+

@Sh_a_shi Beginner gamer? CachyOS. Beginner user? Ubuntu. If you’re ready to jump into cold water & learn a lot: NixOS - it’s the best in the long run.

Be honest Linux users :- If you had to recommend ONE distro to a beginner, what would it be?

@justbyte_ Holy truthnuke. Edge my beloved. I LOVE THIS COMPANY GRAAAAH! 🗣️

Unpopular opinion: Edge is the most underrated browser today.

@Sumanly0 MacBook, simply because of the incredible battery life. I’d happily trade 90% of a laptops performance if that doubles its battery life.

Choose one for rest of your life Gaming or mackbook

@choehau_ara @Catherine2doxh Agreed, just use mpv & enjoy your life.

@Catherine2doxh everything except vlc here.

Whats your favourite open source software ?

The AUR is amazing, but as a Nix elitist - it has less packages, less fresh packages, is very loose moderated (if at all), & your PKGBUILDs are basically just raw shell scripts running on your machine without supervision. This is incredibly shortsighted. Please just use Nix. 😭

Recent AUR drama makes it even more obvious why you should properly monitor who gets to maintain your packages, & push changes. & in the best case scenario handle it like Nix & check the hash of every built package & its source, so that stuff like this can’t even really happen.

@rekdt Unaffected Nix chads win again 🥹

This is my 9/11

@droidbuilds NixOS, Emacs, GHC (Haskell), ViolentMonkey Browser Extension, … there are so many.

Can't imagine using the internet without uBlock Origin anymore. What's another free piece of software you can't live without?

@Prawcin Ignoring the first half of this tweet, sadly yes. Had to install „MasterPDFEditor4“ or some shit cuz apparently editing a PDF in LibreOffice is more painful than rewriting the entire thing in LaTeX yourself.

linux users will watch child porn before admitting that microsoft office is better than libre

@N104AP Literally not an issue on Nix. Checks Hash for every package, has Locking, rigorously controlled. Join us… ❄️

this aur compromise really makes me question my use of linux, though i dont want to have to go back to windows

@dtoxmilenko Arch recently really fueling my NixOS superiority complex, damn. 😔

I use malware, btw

@Itsfoss Worth it, at least for checking it out if you haven’t yet!

Linux in 2026 is ______.

@BrodieOnLinux Apparently not an issue the way Nix/NixOS does it… 🤔

The worst part about this is it's not a compromised supply chain, this is the AUR working as intended. The AUR is from a time of open APIs and FTP servers, so if a package has no maintainer, anyone even a brand new account can adopt it and push changes.

@valigo Didn’t really like KDE personally. For me, nothing can beat XMonad.

Current Linux desktop situation

@0xsprengel alhamdulilah 🙏

if you're pure of heart you'll always get into berghain

@nixoslover4693 Go off twin 🥹

i use nixos btw
