I use NixOS btw

You should try revanced.

You could try https://piped.video or another piped instance

Wow, that’s terrible for security.

From how you’ve described modifying your distro, that’s literally NixOS. Your entire config is declared in a git repo, when you update the system it rebuilds it from that repo. But you’ll have to learn the nix language, and it’s not a easy-to-use, beginner-friendly distro.

Wouldn’t the password remain in the shell history? Or didn’t that exist back then?

OP, I think you gave theshatterstone54 an existential crisis…

Oof

You should probably try Linux Mint, or if you have an NVIDIA card, Pop!_OS

Like ploum wrote (“splitting the web” on https://ploum.net)

Nix(OS) go brrrrr

+1 for nix. I use it daily, and it’s great. A lot of apps are packaged in nixpkgs, too.

It’s time to switch to Linux!

Seems like a nice distro! Iwouldn’t use it because I don’t want to go back to a “regular” distro after using NixOS, but I’ll definitely recommend it to friends. Too bad it doesn’t have an RSS feed for the news…

Good bot!

For distributing software (nixpkgs is a flake and many projects have flakes), replacing channels (again, nixpkgs is a flake) or managing configs (check out my repo)

They’re more reproducible, they make dependency management easier, the commands you use with them are easier to use and more readable, and it’s easier to have multiple packages/systems/home-manager profiles in a single git repo. They also make version management easier
