In case you haven't stumbled upon Piper, it's pretty great for the mouses it supports. I've had a good experience with the couple Logitech ones I've owned.

Thanks for the tips, I'm a happy Aegis user already! Thankfully, my main bank explicitly doesn't care about custom roms and I'm thinking I'll just cut ties with the ones who do and let them know that was the reason at this point. Worst case scenario, I still have my locked down old phone.

I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.

That's a great idea, I'd absolutely love it myself. Something like adding a flake input and it giving you an overlay with reproducible packages for a lot of games, I suppose. Not sure about feasibility but it sure sounds enticing!

Your average user probably wouldn't be too thrilled about it, but I'm sure Nix nerds would be all over it lol.

That was one of the most unhinged rabbit holes I've been to in a hot second, and I absolutely mean that in the best of ways. Well done and congrats on getting there after everything was said and done!

I've been meaning to experiment with mobile NixOS myself but it's all but impossible to get my hands on a supported device around here. Then again, maybe fumbling around and trying to get it to work at all on an old phone might be fun 🤔

I'm picturing you running Arch on distrobox or something just so you can drop the btw now and then haha

Same. What really gets me with this one is that the assets look ripped straight out of the original for the most part, not sure why they didn't go with the route of extracting them from supplied game files like most every other similar project I can think of. I can't imagine it'd be due to technical limitations.

I don't think it'll make it to the end of the day, but hey, at least they had the sense to keep it a secret until it was ready lol

To add to this, another viable path is using Nix, the package manager, on its own. That way you can get Home Manager to manage your applications and dotfiles independently of your base system, as long as you are able to install Nix.

It's my general workflow, run Determinate Nix Installer, install Home Manager, clone my config and I'm off to the races. Been sharing that config between Debian, Ubuntu on WSL and Bazzite for a while and it's served me well so far.

Add the *arr apps into the mix and you get super low effort pirating, legit changed my life when I set it all up lol

I just learned about nushell a few days ago and it blew me away. I've always wanted a shell that made manipulating data easier, and with my programming background the functional style just clicked instantly. Been daily driving it for a couple weeks, definitely recommend folks give it a go.

For those of us with even an inkling of common sense it might as well be lol

I think it's a pretty nice analogy! The one minor issue I have is it makes moving between instances sound way more seamless than it actually is, almost like Mastodon migrations, although it's probably fine for a quick intro.
