I haven’t seen a bunch of these posts before, any cross references to aide in tool discovery?

I have some Rusty GUI apps and will consider doing a list when I find more useful ones.

Hm didn’t know fish was rust based, nice!

Had a discussion about this with one of the Nushell contributors, I am conflicted about it. I think the idea of it is somewhat amazing but also somewhat horrendous. I think the concept of this is a step in the right direction in terms of evolving the shell into something better than the traditional shell with concepts from more modern shells, but still has a way to go before adoption is more widespread. My 2c.

You know what, when I started the list I had delta but when I searched for it I got a different tool that didn’t look right so I removed it, added this one back. Thanks for the added config!

I agree with a bunch of the comments here but wanted to add that there’s a decades-long legacy of good FOSS/Linux support on Thinkpads. Before any of these companies existed, Linux was running pretty reliably on Thinkpads.

I do like the newer options with these newer manufacturers, but I won’t be getting rid of my Thinkpads any time soon. I’m running a Framework now too.

Have zero issues running Fedora 38 Sway Spin on mine.

How does the immutability come into play with Nitrux vs, say NixOS?

Have you tried installing the respective agents inside the VMs that assists with the guest interfacing?

• In VMware: VMware Tools
• In Hyper-V: Linux Integration Services (LIS) or hyperv-daemons
• In VirtualBox: Guest Additions

These generally help with the mouse input lag and host-guest interfacing that can be sometimes slow in virtual consoles, etc. I don’t know to what degree you consider ‘perfectly smooth’, so you may be talking about something beyond that but I hope it helps.

I’ve read that systemd-homed can do encrypted home directories but I haven’t tried it, much less on WSL but that may get you to achieve the encrypted home directory at least.

Personally I don’t think I would have a need to encrypt all of WSL, but maybe that also makes sense for your case.

ArchWiki example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd-homed

Testing at 100% w/Firefox + ABP + AdGuard home DNSBL and upstream DNS blocking. Need to get uMatrix back on here.

I’ve used Arch, Manjaro, and Endeavour. For ease of use it’s between Manjaro and Endeavour and I’d pick Endeavour. Arch is great too. When you’re ready to go deeper, give it a shot.

I did an in-place upgrade of a three-node cluster from 7.4 to 8. Followed the upgrade docs and it worked without a hitch.

I haven’t but would be curious to follow your journey. I’m running a NixOS VM (in Proxmox too) but still learning the basics. My goal initially was a simple utility VM. Separately I’ve also been moving my Docker host VMs to increasingly better setups and NixOS seems like an interesting next candidate.
