Besides the epilepsy, what do you mean with "bad for dogs?"
Sidenote: My partner and me both "feel" the difference of cheap LEDs. Its not something we can pinpoint down, but it got way better with hue lights.
We live with multiple dogs and iam really curious. One of the dogs that we often had around had severe epilepsy that very strong medication was needed and the dog died anyways way to early around the age of 2. She had less sizures than in her original home when she was with us which ofcourse might be unrelated to the lighting. But your thought is interesting.
When you notice flicker, your iris is trying to expand and contract at that rate to compensate. It was one of the things people were pointing fingers at for sick office syndrome, back when fluorescent tube lighting was popular. People, and I assume dogs, have different thresholds when this problem kicks in and flicker becomes noticeable.
2025 I switched to nixos and will probably stay. I used gentoo for like 20 years. Its the distro of my heart.
With some notebooks, some of which were getting on in years, it was simply too resource-intensive to update. Only GHC, for example, often took 12+ hours to compile on some older notebooks.
I tried to list available packages on NixOS and nix-env consumed more than 6 GB Ram. Everyone told me not to use nix-env; everyone except NixOS manual. Trying to understand NixOS environment is a deep rabbit hole.
The Nix documentation is what drove me away from it years ago when I tried. I ended up landing on GNU Guix, where I have been for about 5 years now. I found the OS documentation to be much nicer (info pages!) and the decades of Scheme documentation makes the language easier to pick up too.
Seconded! I really liked Nix, but found the language and some of the tooling inscrutable. With (non)Guix I got all the Nix goodness, but in a form I understood much better. If Guix wasn't so good I'd be on Gentoo or Arch.
Yeah, it's in a weird state of officially being stuck to legacy channels/profiles and unofficially having moved to flakes. Excessive RAM usage with nix-env, which theoretically can be improved but requires deep design changes, was what driven me to flakes.
Yeah, I meant "at least" 4-8 hours. Even if you get bored and give up after that, you've gotten your money's worth, in my opinion.
I have almost 270 hours in Helldivers 2 myself. Like any multiplayer game, it can expand to fill whatever amount of time you want to dedicate to it, and there's always something new to learn or try.
I would say until you are about level 60 there are a bunch of mechanics that you won't understand.

Generally at this point I normally do runs where I go full like gas, stun or full fire builds.
That has nothing to do with flakes. When I add a "module" to my repos its the same. I have to add it the git repos or nix does not "see" it. And yes, its pretty unintuitive.
It actually is specific to flakes. Classic nix commands can see untracked files just fine. Flake evaluation behaves differently because of how it decides which "scheme" to use:
> If the directory is part of a Git repository, then the input will be treated as a `git+file:` URL, otherwise it will be treated as a `path:` url;
This is why untracked or unstaged files disappear when using flakes:
What's more interesting, is how confident your original comment read, but turned out to not be correct at all. Of course it has always been true, but excellent reminder that even humans hallucinate.

The actual user does not give any shits. And while I love tinkering around and understand my OS/distro/$software I can absolutely relate. Linux should be at last so accessible that most of the things just work and a broad audience can just use their computer.
It isnt so much tinkering vs learning how it works.
Part of the reason new users struggle so much is because they forget they have spent 10 years or whatever using windows / macos and linux is definitely not those.
As much as Linux has become far more user friendly in the last couple years it still has its warts and a quick boot camp like installing arch can be very beneficial.
I wanted to take a look at some of these bug fixes, and one of the linked ones [1] seems more like a feature to me. So maybe it should be the week of "low priority" issues, or something like that.
I don't mean to sound negative, I think it's a great idea. I do something like this at home from time to time. Just spend a day repairing and fixing things. Everything that has accumulated.
