    Yeah, university is almost certainly going to expect you to be able to install Unreal or Unity, which just isn’t possible AFAIK on NixOS. NixOS is very all or nothing. You can’t just remove the restrictions for one project and hack something together to hit an assignment deadline. Theres still lots of pain points with LD_PATH and 3rd party binaries.

    That said, you can use nixpkgs on non-nixos and still get reliability for Godot and other open source tools. For your case, I highly recommend dual booting, and then using nixpkgs without going full blown nixOS.

    That’s good to see a lot of the statistics are close, and I appreciate the sources.

    That said, for a full picture, I think you should mention that the average 20 year old doesn’t have 18 gunshot wounds (365 wounds per 400 per year, is about 9.1 wounds per person per decade, or 18.2 wounds per 20 years per person)

    So I’d appreciate if you include a bullet point about that.

    • “at least 1 out of 400 shot everyday”
    • 365 shots per 400 people per year
    • or 9.1 shots per 1 person per decade

    The AVERAGE American has over 9 gunshot wounds? Man things are getting bad in the US.

    Note: The other statistics seem to mostly check out (see another guy’s comment about that), which is great. It’s just weird the gun one is so astronomically inaccurate.
