well it’s already happening. look what recently happened in Mississippi with age verification.

protip if you’re American and you ask “how long until America has such and such” chances are, 9 times out of 10, it’s already happening or has happened and you’re just not aware.

no prob. I think for certain situations immutable is good. Like in your cause where you use it at work, it makes sense to have a workplace on an immutable distro, just makes things easier. In my case since I’m a developer it also makes sense as the likely hood of me absolutely breaking something is high. plus with nix and the nix flakes and nix shell environments it makes developing a breeze.

For someone at home who is NEW to Linux, yeah it also makes sense. For everyone else? meh I don’t really see a need for it if you know what you’re doing. Don’t get me wrong I love Arch and all its various forks, especially CachyOS, so I mean if it works for you then why go immutable? there’s no right and wrong distro for a user, it’s whatever they prefer. Hell a buddy of mine uses Slackware and will never move from it.

I get it. I recently switched to NixOS from Arch and I absolutely love it. I would routinely go buck wild with Arch and eventually my system would just be populated with garbage or half assed things that I never bothered to fix. With Nix I don’t have that choice. If I fuck around with the config well then it’s not rebuilding and I need to actually fix it. It prevents me from breaking my system. If I do somehow many to break something then I can instantly roll back from the grub OR just retrieve a backup copy of my config which I keep on my server backup and my private git instance. Just have to git clone it.

So I was once one of those anti-immutable people but now I get it and i love it.

ah this was EXACTLY what I was looking for! thanks!

nope just tried it, desktop app doesn’t work on my distro, can’t delete the account now as the deletion method via the website doesn’t work.

what alternative did you end up going with?

I had a script to convert my main Spotify playlist (5000+ songs) to download from soulseek but…yeah that would take a VERY long time and I really didn’t feel like being a soulseek asshole going that route.

If there was something out there where I can take my spotify playlist and just convert it and use it on another/better platform I’d switch right now.
