Fluffychat (matrix), Deltachat seem really good but good luck getting anyone to change. Let us know if you figure out a way to persuade people they should make any effort or try something new.

Does no one else wake up at 0300 and read a book for a bit before going back to sleep for a couple of hours?

I’m not advanced, just a distrohopper for fun :-) but NixOs seemed excellent, you install like an other os, open the config file and write a list of what you want installed, rebuild and it’s all there. Then use it just like any other distro. That seems a good experience to me and if you are just a simple desktop user like me what else would you ever need to do? Am I right that all the homemanager and flakes business is optional and for people with more complicated requirements?

thanks, that’s comprehensive, I recommend it at least :-)

I agree it is great, but am I the only one running Opensuse MicroOS?
