Lenovo has not announced a third generation despite 2 new generations of CPU coming out. I was really looking forward to replacing this first-gen unit when the new ones came out, but that will not be possible. +**12/25/2024 - Update:** Debian Sid had a nasty habit of getting the /boot/ partition filled up. I reinstalled NixOS but the `ddterm` extension I have grown to love didn't work correctly; I found several Issues pages about it where people had identical problems but they were all marked "solved" in older versions of NixOS and none of the workarounds listed in there got the thing working properly. + +That said, I am back on Fedora. The Howdy beta version was never properly packages for Debian so I could never get facial recognition authentication to work. Fedora lags behind Debian Sid by maybe a week (at least in regards to kernel packages) and frankly, I've grown accustomed to `dnf` at this point. Arguably, `dnf` has a superior search to `apt` and I have found that Fedora's automatic search for missing packages when running commands to be fantastic. + +I do genuinely miss the snapshot-style versioning in NixOS. I know that Fedora Silverblue exists, but Flatpak versions of Firefox don't work with my password manager extension (KeePassXC-Browser) and I do like ot have multiple copies of Firefox, which looks like a pain in Fedora Atomic versions. Maybe I'll give it a shot eventually - I'm not particularly fond of the password manager I'm using, as-is. + **11/28/2024 - Update:** I made an attempt to try out Debian Stable, but issues did arise with suspend almost immediately, so I just went back to Sid. I have had one failure to wake so far, which, frankly, is better than any OS prior even with all the workarounds I tried to implement. **11/22/2024 - Update:** I'm back on Debian Sid. So far, so good - but there's still testing to be done, especially in regards to suspend.
