Last year I would have said Arch. I have been running it for over 15 years with some small breaks to try stuff, or with some machines that have company issued OS. But I have been toying with NixOS, and honestly I'm loving it. If I had to choose only one and couldn't change it it would have to be Arch, I know I can get 5 years with it easily, but if I was setting a new system today it would almost assuredly be NixOS, I might regret that 3 years down the line when there's something I can't get to work, but the more I play around, the less likely I think that would be, and the more comfortable I feel that I will eventually migrate to NixOS fulltime

But those are two very different things, I can very easily give you a one liner using curl|bash that will compromise your system, to get the same level of compromise through a proper authenticated channel such as apt/pacman/etc you would need to compromise either their private keys and attack before they notice and change them or stick malicious code in an official package, either of those is orders of magnitude more difficult than writing a simple bash script.

You didn't knew that the tool to handle URLs written in C (very creatively named C-Url) was handling URLs? It's also written in C if you didn't knew.

For this to work you need a display to send through the network, but that display needs not be a physical one. So depending on your definition it can be run headless. If you meant without it being plugged to a display then yes, if you meant without having graphical stack installed then no (there would be no point to streaming display without a display).

It works brilliantly on my Linux host with a 7800 XT, I think you might have an unrelated issue.

Astro A50 that I got from work. It sucks, every once in a while it just refuses to work and I need to plug it into my wife's Windows PC to update the firmware to get it to work again. Audio and mic quality are okay, but that issue makes me definitely not recommend it for Linux users.

No, I cheated. I figured out that it needs to be solved in layers, and figured out how to solve the first two layers,but could never figure out how to solve the top one. Eventually I looked up how to solve it and reproduced the movements. I can put it in order now, but I wouldn't say I solved it since I'm doing movements someone taught me not that I figured myself out.

Math is not adding up, there are 365 days in a year, removing weekends that's 261 days. In Romania you have 20 days of AL guaranteed by law, plus there are 17 holidays but some fall on weekends so let's say 10, for a total of 231 work days a year.

A work day is 8 hours, so 5 working days a year are 40 hours per year. Dividing by the amount of days of work it's 0.17h or 10:30minutes, considering people commute two ways that's 5:15 minutes per trip stuck in jams.

Sure, annoying, but definitely not economy shattering. But if they think so, maybe let people work from home, it would diminish the amount of cars on the road, and completely eliminate jams for some of the people.

One curious thing if you understand this is to think on purple. Purple is blue+red, but like you pointed out 2 colors should give you the average wavelength, which in the case of blue+,red should be green. So why the hell do we see purple as something different? Well, that's because humans have 3 sensors for colors, roughly corresponding to Red, Green and Blue, triggering both Blue and Red without triggering green at the same time gets interpreted differently than green, even though it shouldn't. Which means that purple is not a color, but rather a mind trick your brain plays on you.

Honestly La sagrada familia is my second favorite Gaudi work, the first one being La casa Batllo. Hope you get to see it next time, and if you do pick up either dawn or dusk, the light through the windows is awe inspiring. Also, yeah, the Rambla is mostly tourist traps, also every single restaurant around the park Güell is an extra nasty tourist trap. There are some good places nearby, but realistically you're probably better off eating at a Tapa Tapa (the McDonald's of tapas) than a random place at the Rambla.

Sort of, you can install it as a PWA and it is local first.
