If you’re new I suggest not using flakes. You can always switch to them when you learn how to maintain NixOS.

Isn’t the MIT license independent of the choice of Rust?

Stock GNOME. No extensions.

Emacs → Vim → Neovim → Helix

Swing was by far my favorite.

Nice. My team constantly gripes about it but I’m all, “…it’s a well designed UI toolkit…?” I can make it do anything. It took me weeks (as a newbie) to try to lay out UI components just so with the new hotness and at the end I had to give up and move on. It would’ve taken me five minutes to do it with Swing.

As an engineer, Swing is great! Granted, I wouldn’t use it to deliver a polished UI to users.

I distro hopped from NixOS, to Arch Linux, and back. I really liked Arch but pacman never grew on me.
