I recently tried NixOS, I’m a embedded firmware dev so I need certain special SDKs that rely on being installed in a specific way. My biggest problem was that some things needed to be able to run pip install in the background, and understanding how to get it to work on an imutable OS was way to much work.

It sounds great to be able to reproduce my dev environment for the rest of my team, but I need to work, not fiddle with the OS each time there’s a new SDK or driver I need for my IoT devices.

I may try again in the future, but the project I’m working on is on a heavy time crunch so Ubuntu will have to continue to be enough for now 😆

In the beginning of the migration there was a guy that asked for help on how to not poop for 3 or some days and would not tell anyone why, this sparked a bunch of memes, I don’t have any to link but they should be easy to find if one is interested.

I can’t say for sure since I have not used it myself. But I have followed the progress from his first announcements through a lot of improvements that took a looong time since he used every revision himself (with his own Steamdeck and everything else he needs for work).

But I do intend on buying one when I have the money and I don’t even own a Steamdeck, I just want it for work :) I do know he made a lot of improvements like reinforcements to the bottom so it would last longer then other bags.

I have heard good things about the LTT Backpack, I watched a stream where Linus talked about improvements they did to the backpack to make the Steamdeck fit.

Here is a review I found where someone uses it for laptop and Steamdeck https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/zxcafh/ltt_backpack_long_format_review/

(Yes I know it’s on reddit, but I couldn’t find a review on lemmy, maybe you will be the first if you buy one 😉)

Ah I see 😊 Thx for the tldr!

I’m interested but it’s too much to read. If anyone wants to make a tldr I’m coming back for that 😊

Use it for PC too 😉 Since it’s a PWA (Progressive web application) it can be installed (as its own program) on any os with a compatible browser, including Windows, Linux and Mac.
