Both have issues, just that X11 has old issues that rarely someone is workin on, while Wayland has new ones and people are fixing them. So Wayland for me, thank you.

I was a distro hopper once, then I saw the light of NixOS...

NixOS is a Linux distro that does a lot of things differently (for the greater good), and gaming is heavily Windows thing, which is hard to do even on conventional Linux distros (its getting better tho). That said as for your points:

1a. One of the things that would help you, is programs.nix-ld.enable = true; (for more info check https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld , but its integrated in NixOS already)

1b. UE5 pull request has some things that might help (eg: you could just try running it with steam-run): https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/124963

1. Depends how you are building them, I am not a gaming developer nor tried to build a game without packaging it with Nix. But if you manage to run the UE5 I guess the procedure would be the same as long as you have all of the dependencies available for UE5

2. I am using qemu/KVM on NixOS to run games on with quite a good performance, so that should not be a problem

What are you talking about? What nonfree programs? Can you give an example? Btw, for VPS you normally just need ssh, and that is free and even OSS.

Indeed, well:

• SearxNG is a meta search engine, can aggregate search results from a ton of other search engines (like DDG, Google, Bing, .... and a lot more)
• Whoogle, looks like a proxy to Google

I am not particularly good at math myself, but I like to program stuff... If I am any good at it... decide for yourself: https://github.com/matejc?tab=repositories ... anyway, if you have interest of doing something, stop the doubt, just do it.

People usually forget that home machines for server require:

• stable internet connection
• stable electricity supply
• hardware maintenance
• upgrade of hardware

I had all that when I was a student, it's wonderful to learning opportunity. Now I grew up, I use VPS in cloud and pay for all that with ~16eur/month and could be even cheaper. But considering my work hour, I can pay for that amount with half an hour of work with my job.

I cant remember anymore... Let me explain ... My first computer was with at-the-time-very-new windows xp, using primary for games, after some time it got bloated with stuff so i had to reinstall again and again over time. Then i discovered redhat,centos and debian... I started heavily distro hopping. My passion for software grew to the point that I was installing new software on daily basis, just to explore new things. But nothing seemed stable enough, ubuntu, fedora, sabayon, gentoo, arch... And their derivatives all broke under my fingers to the point that i had to do more fixing than discovering new software, I took it as a challenge and continue. At around the time of university I discovered NixOS, as with any new technology I went head on with it. It took a lot of trial and error since at the time there were no documentation for any of it. I spent months reading the code, but I never gave up, since what I have found was a gem. I found the OS that is resistant to my curiosity, I just cant seem to be able to break it. Now I use NixOS everywhere that I can, even on my work computer. I do not need to reinstall after initial installation. Well... only when hardware fails...

In i3wm/swaywm, hyprland, ... You can assign workspaces to outputs (monitors)

What search engine I use? All of them. I use Searxng.

Is it still necessary to reboot if you install/update/remove some system package?

Are you using HDMI? Try display port. (Its an old post but maybe related) https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/w3ug4q/enabling_amds_freesync_on_sway/

I knew that takos have a lot of output energy, but I did not knew that takos can power a whole car!

(I wish that someone would already posted something like this so I could just upvote it.)

Thank you, integration with activitypub is what i was after!

I use Sway to great success. Gnome extensions are quite limited. Hyprland seems ok but the time that i was trying to use it (several months back) it had severe issues in release and trunk revisions. Specially with multimonitor setup, like the screen locker that they recommend in documentation is crashing after sleep if on multimonitor setup, i lost trust in Hyprland after that security issue.

I have made some figurines 4-5cm in height, with some random PLA, maybe it can serve as example for you... Btw, what do you mean by 1:72?

Btw, I do not use postfix

Hey, I do not think that this is off topic at all. My instance is matejc.com

My instance had the same problem, the problem was that Hetzner (where I host my server) by default is not permitting outbound smtp ports. For me the solution was to use alternative port and even that a starttls alternative port which AWS SES luckily supports (that is what I am using for smtp server). Alternative would be also to just ask Hetzner to unblock the port (people have reported success with this method).

Software:

• firewall, no inbound and do outbound restrictions
• use immutable OS
• full disk encryption (keep in mind that in many setups you will need to be beside the computer after restart)

Hardware:

• put it in the trusted datacenter (home stuff is not safe from teenagers and people that need computer's electrical socket for a vacuum cleaner)
