Starting to plan out my 2026 #linux talks. Mostly around #nixbook and the work I've been doing upcycling computers and giving them away.

Which of these catches your attention and makes you wanna know more about a talk?

“From E-Waste to Empowerment: The Story of Nixbook OS”

“Linux for Good: How I Turned Discarded Computers into Digital Lifelines”

“Making Linux Invisible (In a Good Way): Nixbook OS for Non-Tech Users”

“The Green Side of Linux: Using NixOS to Fight E-Waste”

Another call out for help in the #Linux and #nixos community!

We REALLY want to get the #nixbook installer to be able to install #flatpak during (or right after) the calamares installation.

Currently its installing on first boot of nixbook, but it's janky, and causing some downstream issues.

I FEEL LIKE this should be fixable.

Again, the issue is that we want to install a handful of flatpaks after the nixos build, but it gets cranky with no DBUS.

18 years old and still getting the #nixbook treatment.

Never played with an R61 before. Classic #thinkpad

Well, it's official! The very first #nixbook installer is now live and completely works!

Now you can download an iso, boot to it, and install Nixbook or Nixbook Lite, reboot and you're good forever!

For those who don't know, Nixbook is basically a super easy to use #linuxmint type clone built in #nixos with automatic updates and upgrades for non technical / technical users alike!
