And I just noticed the speedometer actually works when using the phone screen, but it doesn’t show (in my case) on the Android Auto screen.

Will keep contributing as much as possible!

Perhaps not all all regions have that metadata available on OpenStreetMaps?

I recently settled on https://organicmaps.app/ as my navigation app.

It’s Open Source, uses OpenStreetMaps, works quite well on its own, and can (if downloaded through Google Play) even be used with Android Auto.

The only thing it misses, to my personal preference, is a live speedometer based off of GPS speed and local road speed limit indications.

Otherwise it fits the shift away from a proprietary software dominated market perfectly.

Oh it certainly wasn’t the first I have ever used.

Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, and more.

This is just the first one that has made me ‘want to make the shift’, so to speak.

I specialize professionally in hyper automation of all sorts of things. Long time user of PowerShell, custom built C++/C#/Java backend services. More recently also utilizing Python and Rust.

The declarative nature of NixOS (incl. Flakes, idempotent ❤️) is what I love about it. Although I am well aware it can be quite daunting for those that prefer imperative scripting, or even ClickOps.

Thank you for sharing. Great to get some inspiration from a fellow traveller.

Nix (and more specifically, NixOS) made me switch to Linux as my daily driver.

I had been using Windows since 3.11 as my daily driver, MS DOS before that. This was for web browsing, gaming, and development. Linux was my sandbox on the side, and mostly server OS throughout the years.

Goes to show how powerful packagemanagers can be, it made me make the full switch after ~30 years. I love how my OS is now idempotent/declarative.

While I applaud the effort, the collage needs more NixOS.
