  • OP’s lawyer here

    I discussed your request with my client, and we decided to move forward with accepting it.

    However, it’s up to you, yo approve this decision. Your options are (a) use spoon number 3 for the rest of your life, or (b) use a normal spoon for the rest of your life.

    Keep in mind that:

    1. You can only use the chosen spoon, no matter what the circumstances. For example, it doesn’t matter if you forgot it at home, or you are trying to eat a steak.
    2. You may wash your spoon, when necessary.
    3. You use other tools for other jobs. Rule 1 only applies to eating.
    4. You may not change spoon if it breaks, or gets contaminated.


  • The Nix package manager can be installed on most distros.

    Keep in mind though:

    • GPU accelerated apps will require nixGL, or symlinking Nix’s Mesa to /run/opengl-drivers
    • Debian 12 has an ancient version of nix, and you need to first grab the nix binaries from the 24.11 channel. Newer channels do not support Debian’s nix
    • Fedora may require to disable SELinux. Otherwise it can be a real pain to properly configure nix

  • Bedrock Linux requires you to change distro.

    Let me introduce you to distrobox. It containerizes the distro of choice, and allows you to install any software of any distro, without messing any system files.

    Regarding the VPN case though, I haven’t tested it, but I would rather install any kind of proprietary software inside a VM. Steam may be an exception.
