Please provide the commandment to install NixOS within executable scripts rather than as mere text.
If you care, there won't be any substitute for keeping track of changes to the recommended install and deciding whether you do or don't want to follow suit. Luckily, the site's source is public: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/blob/master/download.tt

Bottles: Easy GUI front end to run Windows software on Linux
Wow! I can't believe I've never noticed that. For many years, the only graphical installation disk was based on Plasma, and I think it also had that tag. NixOS only started shipping a GNOME iso for installation purposes a little over a year ago (for 20.09), and I kinda never noticed.
Looks like the main reason GNOME is recommended for installation media at the moment is that it does a better job of autodetecting HiDPI displays, and then scaling appropriately: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/643
There are also some packaging issues for Qt with NixOS, because Qt plugins fundamentally rely on ‘impurity’ at runtime, and the Qt framework makes promises it doesn't keep about binary compatibility.
Here are some of the relevant issues for historical context and some of the tradeoffs Nixpkgs developers have faced when it comes to handling Qt and KDE packaging:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/86369
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/54525
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44047
I realize that may not be a fully satisfying answer as to why the GNOME-based installation graphical ISO is recommended over the Qt one because one can imagine that the Qt packaging issue should be resolved some other way, or see the difficulty of packaging Qt plugins and applications in Nixpkgs as fundamentally a Nix defect. But I hope it makes that decision make more sense.
FWIW, afaict Plasma is the more popular of the two major DEs on NixOS, and it's what I've always used on NixOS myself, including now. It is definitely usable.

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
Using Homebrew Cask for Calibre actually makes the problem worse because the download is consistently very slow for some people. For me, it took around an hour the last time I had it installed on my Mac.

I want to pin but homebrew doesn't recognize cask
(Note that I don't actually have calibre installed on my machine. I'm only going by the calibre.rb file present on brew's GitHub.)

Can someone provide me with an Arc for Big Sur download link?
seems like you might be able to look at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/commits/89f99aad090a5148b0a44eef826f1fc7c0c6aa84/Casks/arc.rb and figure out which version works and plug the version into the download url. would be more ideal if theres a way to do it directly from brew but im not sure how offhand

How to properly delete Parallels Desktop?
I use Homebrew to install and delete most apps, because they include a zap list in their formula of all files and folders to delete when uninstalling. You can see Parallels formula and zap list here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/tree/master/Casks/parallels.rb
