       * sigh *I need VirtualBox because for some classic gaming, virt-manager was not the best option for Windows XP or Windows Vista. It worked fair with Windows 7, but even when I finally could get the audio and network working, the display was lacking any reasonable hardware acceleration.VirtualBox just works, and I don't want a debug or tweak another random setting, I just want things to work — and I mean now.The problem is, I really wanted to use an immutable distro, because I love the idea of my daily driver being safe and secure. And while I used to be able to run VirtualBox on Fedora Kinoite (Silverblue but with KDE), it seems things have e changed.That brings me back to NixOS, which I have gotten really good at using — while wanting to throw it out the window. Because when you become really good with NixOS, you learn that they change things constantly just for the sake of changing things. And that becomes super annoying really quick.

       NixOS should be the that super cool operating system, with one master configuration file to rule them all. — Really easy once you learn it.But NixOS likes to change things for no reason other than to change things.  It gets really annoying really fast.By that, I mean they love to rename their commands all the time. 🙄example=true; will become 1example=true only to later be renamed example1=true; and eventually renamed to 1_example=true;  and then example_1=true;  —— And this cycle appears to be continuous, for nearly everything, for no apparent reason. Change for the sake of change because somebody in their development team is completely sadistic, and just wants to say, see, we're doing something, is infuriating. 🤦#NixOS #Linux
