Most of the ones out there are weird, anti-configurable systems like mobile phone OS.
The only ones that really seem like "the future" in my eyes are Nix and Guix.
And I'm not going to use those because I already have a good setup with my conventional distro (Debian). Anything less than absolute perfection will not get me to switch.
Nix is imperfect because it uses systemd. Guix is imperfect because it has a smaller selection of packages, and a more difficult configuration system.
It used to be a whole weird wide world. Then the corpos got a hold of it, and now it's 5 giant spyware websites filled with screenshots of the other 4. Say what you will about the old web (NO HTTPS!) but at least it was human.
I used to have a synced framerate and AR capability, where I could project my thoughtscreen into the air, or onto a wall. I know what you may be asking, but no, other people could not see it.
Then I lost it over time, seems like one of the OS updates didn't support my hardware.
I just installed a Debian 13 Trixie system on my laptop. I have 5 GPT partitions on 1 terabyte SSD and NO LVM!
partition layout
GRUB works fine, it loads the kernel, then I enter the password to decrypt my root partition. It decrypts correctly, then hangs for 1 minute 30 seconds.
After that, I get this error:
undefined

When I use the Timeshift GUI to create a snapshot, it takes a very long time to complete. If I click Cancel, my desktop environment crashes and I get kicked to a black screen or a login prompt.
When I use Timeshift CLI, it creates the snapshot in less than a second, but the command waits for a long time afterward. However, it can be safely interrupted with control-C.
Timeshift is in BTRFS mode.

When I click on a tab while holding Ctrl or Shift, it just switches me into that tab. On other browsers (Firefox, Vivaldi) it selects the tab instead. If I want to move tabs from one window into another, I have to move them one. at. a. time.
How do I fix this? I am on version 1.69.168 on Linux from the Flatpak.
