Real talk, I want to try Guix but I have not successfully installed it on any hardware, including VMs. This includes with nonguix for proprietary drivers and stuff. I can never get past install, it always just craps out on some substitution thing. Am I just stupid?

Huh. Might be hardware and I got lucky. I do agree that hibernate on Linux is mostly terrible, though I have had plenty of issues with it in Windows too. I think hibernate mostly just sucks

Yes, this is my go to nowadays for all my family and friends. Atomic makes it harder for them to break it and everything just works out of the box.

I run Bazzite, which is Fedora Atomic, that hibernates just fine. In fact, so far it’s the only one that does. Arch and Mint both would never come back from sleep.

Getting my Pinephone Pro up and running, and getting away from Google forever, finally. Also I’m gonna make the jump from Arch to either Gentoo and/or Guix, I think.

Pretty sure Hyprland will do this. I have seen it make some stupid small windows

Yeah Hyprland is great and very easy. Just make sure you have kitty installed or change the default config to use your preferred terminal and getting set up shouldn’t take long. The Hyprland docs also have tons of recommendations for other good software.

Zsh is just bash with plugins and stuff, so regular bash scripts work. fish, as I understand, uses its own language.

That’s actually a pretty good reason. Currently I own my work environments but that won’t always be the case, I’m sure.
