  • They’re completely different things.

    NixOS Mobile is Linux on Mobile project, based on desktop NixOS. It’s one of the worst maintained Linux on Mobile distros and I don’t reccomend it to anyone who haven’t tried both NixOS and other distro for phones.

    LineageOS is a well maintained Android (AOSP) fork.

    If you want to dive deeper into Linux on Mobile, I reccomend starting with PostmarketOS. It’s a full Linux distro, unrelated to Android.











  • From a non techical user perspective.

    I used unmodified GNOME 40 and 49 for a week. There were few changes, I could absolutely see myself using the older version and not missing much.

    In my opinion GNOME 4X is as good as linux DEs get. I would like to see some popular extensions getting official support and native dynamic tiling, but besides that it’s hard to see room for improvement.

    Removing X11 is a big deal, but most users won’t see it as such.
