About 3-4 years ago I bought a Humble Bundle of StackSkills classes, Linux Power Bundle. Last night I finally finished 3 of them and have a good start on a 4th (about 68%). I can no longer consider myself exactly a n00b, although I'm sure I didn't learn everything the instructor thought he taught me.
What is NixOS? NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages.
I think NixOS is a very interesting and useful Linux system, but a bit difficult to handle, since it doesn’t work like any other Linux system. I.e. the installation to hard drive is very special, the file system is different and NixOS...

I call my new version exGENT 2020 LXQt Live DVD/USB. It replaces...
I accidentally installed Kubuntu 20.04 over KDE neon. No biggie, same thing, but I was expecting to be replacing my installation of Ubuntu Studio 20.04 Beta. So then I had to find something else to go on that partition. I tried Fedora but could not get confirmation that it would install correctly or would get the EFI in the right place. So I just installed Sabayon. It took less than 2.5 hours, an extremely quick installation for Gentoo, especially considering I was using an old USB2 stick and installing...
