NixOS docs themselves are a tad lax, but it will get better.

Learning nix itself is also important:

https://zero-to-nix.com/

Just this morning I was having issues with a wacky dual-boot install with NixOS and Windows sharing an EFI partition, and quite interestingly ChatGPT and I were able to troubleshoot the process and get it resolved in under half and hour. I was really impressed by the specific configurations it was giving me for my /etc/nixos/configuration.nix , so that is also another resource you may consider leaning on when you run into walls in other documentation sources.

Unsatisfying resolution, wiped windows disk, cleared partitions, and let windows do an automatic install. Interestingly it decided to install a windows boot manager alongside the Linux one.

Oh, one funny downside to this board is that because it's so absurdly energy efficient, I've found a few battery chargers (e.g. Anker) don't detect it as enough current draw to charge them lmao. Not a deal breaker, just amusing.

They're really fun. I like them especially for things like:

  • battery life
  • charging status
  • is my Bluetooth connection working
  • are the halves talking to each other
  • what Miryoku mode I'm in (fun, not really functionally helpful)
  • what Bluetooth slot I currently have active, and if other slots are cleared or paired to a device. Miryoku tracks 4 slots.

I can't give too much specifics due to IP and company infosec but was having issues with network drives

I'm required to use CentOS for work and it would be an understatement to say how frustrating it is to use for me. So many packages are missing / old, and some packages just break. There have also been wild bugs which just kernel panic the whole OS. I'd steer clear.

If you're on Kinoite, can't you just enable Plasma 6 if you really need it?

Is syncthing falling out of favor these days?

GPL is the only good license out there. MIT just leaves too many opportunities for abuse because corporations won't ever do what is in the best interest of humanity.

I guess I'd try what I posted above, but also, I'd verify if lsusb is showing the devices at all. If not, then maybe there's a way to trigger a rescan by the USB controllers on reboot

Is this is Linux machine? And is it waking the machine from sleep or booting that you notice the issue?
