    Dash would certanly use CachyOS. For Rarity, anything as long as the DE is GNOME. Pinkie would be a chronical distrohopper.

    Nix user. The declaritive config IS the documentation and I enjoy no longer having to document how to setup my system as much. I don’t enjoy scripting or automating things, but I enjoy the benefits of only needing to do it once via Nix’s config system.

    I enjoy engineering: an engineer will spend 3 hours figuring out how to do a 2 hour job in 1 hour.

    I wouldn’t say that windows is about speed and performance now. Not to mention bloat.

    Most games running near same performance on Linux. And funny enough, some games run even better under proton + wine than windows versions

        You know how many times I tried to install some driver on windows, just for it to say fuck you?

        • install windows Euro version

        • it dosent include direct sound

        • direct sound is probably a directx lib, install that

        • nope, I look it up (for euro version of course)

        • I should go to the „add or remove features”

        • type into searchbar, find it instantly

        • can’t find

        • apparently I’ve been using the legacy version thats accessible and correctly indexed in the search bar. What I need is the new thing with the same name that is only accessible in 3 sub menus

        • so basically if I want to install dhcp servers, hypervisor etc, I need the old menu, but if I want libs for those or slightly different versions I need the new menu

        • install

        • wat 10 mins at a loading bar that tells me nothing, just for it to fail with no error code

        • repeat until I go back to linux

        My perception is W11 is that it’s hella slow. Rainbow Dash should just get like Bazzite or CachyOS.

    except RD it looks good.

    For bluefast you could either take something with fast releases such as arch or fedora. Or something lightweight with faste boottimes, such as Peppermint or Bodhi.

    macOS Tahoe is far from being consistent and refined, remains me of the first days of windows 11.

      Sequoia Gang stay the course.

      macOS 27 is going to have some super-refined shit if it stands a chance of making it anywhere near my M2 Air. I made the mistake of updating my M1 mini to Tahoe and my god, it’s shite, but my M2 is still resolutely Sequoia.

          To be honest, I don’t physically access the mini all that often. It’s my Home Assistant server, running HAOS via UTM. By and large, it chugs along without fuss. Drops the wifi connection every couple of weeks for no reason I can ascertain, but otherwise it’s pretty solid.

          My MacBook is my primary computer. Well, one of them. The others I use are all on various flavours of Linux. Debian for my general purpose home server, Cachy for my gaming PC, Kubuntu at work.

      I’ve seen that a lot of people hate macOS Tahoe. According to them, it’s the ‘liquid glass’ design they dislike.

        Personally, I’m not massively offended by the Liquid Ass. I’ve got iPadOS 26 on my iPad and it’s fine.

        But the huge amount of wasted, blank space in Tahoe is a travesty. Massive radii on window corners for no good reason, causing everything to push in to the window a little further than it, and almost no contrast between elements that just looks cheap and awful.

    I’d assign pinkie pie to a rolling release like arch or gentoo. You can customize and get constant updates. You can also switch around the desktop environment to keep things new and interesting.

    These frequentchanges goes with her energetic personality.

    I think that works better than “this is OS can tolerate her”

      That is also true for NixOS. Since it’s declarative, the only things that break when you switch DEs are the settings the DEs themselves change when you run them

        I only tried nixos once and briefly, so I’m not that familiar with it. Is it a rolling release distro?

          There’s an unstable channel. Because of how nix works you can mix different channel packages since deps are independent (nothing is installed system wide)

    I may be a certified expert in My Little Pony, but I’ve only used like 3 distros, so I don’t think I’m qualified enough to weigh in.
