And how else do you expect iceland to join when the eu requires a referendum to be had in the joinimg country? Also iceland(from what i know) has a muuuuch smaller faschism problem than most other countries in the world

?

I really dont care what editor you use, ive never used emacs, nano is disgusting and i really like vim but it could be the exact opposite for you and i wouldnt care.

Took me a good while to read it as 11 so it is pretty confusing tbf

Firefox has a profit incentive and its making low quality software…

This makes me even less proud of sweden even tho im an immigrant. I like this country but sadly i cant love it in its current state.

Yeah i get that, but also it has some huuuge problems. A very large part of arch users rely on the aur which is horrible from a security standpoint and in general for usability. If arch made its package distribution better it would be a really solid distro with a lot of merits. Of course if you get arround the package management woes its a good system to use. As for nix you dont actually re-build your system every time you change something cause you also do that technically when you boot, tho not in the sense of building software from source, it just links everything so its accessible.

Yeah the documentation is just amazing. Even on nixos i often use the arch wiki to find things cause a lot of it applies to linux generally.

Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch… ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being “cool” is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).

Its kinda insane having lived in four different countries over the years. In Ireland the weather is very oceanic which means its very mild but quite cold all year round. We would be suprised of it went below 0 during summer and it never went above 30 during summer. They put basically zero insulation in houses. This meant during summer it was in the twennies but during winter it was really cold for being inside. Next one was hungary. Kinda the opposite of ireland being very continental. Most houses have good insulation and ac’s as well or if its an older house at least a fireplace which provides really good warmth. During the summers some parts of the house would become quite unbearable even with ac. My grandmas place was quite something in 40 degrees with no ac. Then spain. They have hot summers as well so every house has ac but the winters are short and very mild, not going below 5 degrees evem during winter where i lived. This meant they had very little insulation and it got quite cold in a lot of apartments but i think houses generally had better insulation. Lastly sweden, the summers are mild here as well which means no ac but opening a window is always enough to cool down a room. As for the winters, the insulation is excellent and its quite hot inside. Even tho sweden gets a good 15-20c colder here than where i lived in ireland, it feels warmer just because of the good heating inside. It makes a huge difference.

Its fun. With the power of nixos i always have a safe fallback in case i brake something and need my laptop.

Yeah but they slowly develop to be their own fields. You wouldnt argue that physics is math either. Or that chemistry could technically be called a very far branch of philosophy. Computer programing, physics, etc are the applied versions of math. You are no longer studying math, you are studying something else with the help of math. Not that it matters much, just makes distinguising between them easier. You can draw the line anywhere but people do generally have a somewhat shared idea of where that lies.

I mean people underestimate how usefull lookup tables are. A lookup table of primes for example is basically always just better except the one case where you are searching for primes which is more maths than computer programming anyways. The modern way is to abstract and reimplement everything when there are much cheaper and easier ways of doing it.

Thats a cool sentiment but dont downvote the post because of that. That is the exact behaviour preventing many foss projects from becoming mainstream. Instead of disabling eachother if you had just commented this it wouldve been a really cool bit of constructive criticism. Still also it is just a meme.

Its the first time my peers are actually asking me about switching to linux. Sweden is an extremely techbro country, which i say because they have all the newest gadgets and then cant open a file for fucks sake.

Very useful tip: i have ls aliased to eza which is ls with eyecandy, I have la aliased to eza -a and I have cd aliased to cd && eza which makes navigating folders very easy. I also aliased … to cd … for convenience. I know a lot of people are purists about the terminal but i think this is a good ballance between convenience and simplicity. Doesnt do a lot of the cursed stuff ricers like to do.
