But tons of libraries used out there are not in those runtimes, and this scenario still applies to them.

Btw we have a community on Lemmy as well! https://lemmy.ml/c/postmarketos

I’m sure it’s nice, but it shouldn’t be forced upon me by some random software project. I don’t use Nix, I don’t have a need for Nix. But if I want to install this project, for some reason I suddenly need to edit my root system to install some package manager I’m never using.

I wish they focused more on passthrough, windows projected in real life (so AR) rather than the black space you now have in the background.

Also, it for some reason uses Nix as it’s build/install system. I’ve read through their issues talking about it and I get their reasoning, but there is no way I’m installing this in my system if I have to use Nix and install it as root…

They should upstream their forked stuff and make it compilable with system dependencies 🤔

I see benefit in both tbh. Connected as a fancy monitor to your more powerful PC at home, a thing on it’s own on the road. Although I suppose I rather see it use my phone as the rendering/computing device and just be another screen for that.

Tbh the various DE’s should work just fine out of the box without additional distro work done outside of packaging. That’s the case on Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux and Alpine Linux at least, not sure why it would be different on distros like Ubuntu or Fedora.

I… Have never heard of those. I’m sure there are some distros like that, but the majority (and especially the few mainstream ones) just ship and offer all DE’s.

They should specify that then. Because right now I’d also answer the question with “all distros”.

I’m assuming the OP just wants know what GUI we like best, and the distro is irrelevant.
