    Doing everything explicitly can get to be annoying, especially when it comes to what you had to do before without Vulkan’s VK_EXT_shader_object.

    It’s clear that some stuff should be implicit - most types in programming languages, for example; needing to specify a struct type and then the struct itself can be annoying - and other stuff explicit, like low level operations.

    Returns are something that usually fall into that “implicit” category. Why should I do let a = function(); return a; when I can just do function()? It’s shorter, simpler, and I don’t waste keystrokes.

    Silverblue is actually the only OS I’ve been using for the past year - I’ve gotten NixOS installed to my laptop once or twice but went right back to Silverblue since I couldn’t maintain a Nix config I liked.

    If I ever want anything newer or older, I can always rebase my Silverblue install to Rawhide or a previous commit. It’s just one rpm-ostree away.

    Arch is what I run inside of distrobox, I haven’t used it on bare metal in… I think, two years now? I’ve found Arch to be one of the best distributions for use in a container, it’s simple, minimal, and (with a few minor tweaks) very easy to understand and utilize.
