Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    You can nixos-rebuild her, you have the technology.

    Reddit ai generated slop.

    I feel this, but my other love is gentoo...if only I could get portage to just stop finding more package masks or multiple instances of the same package slot..it's always something that makes me do another upgrade in an attempt to troubleshoot and it's usually because I get so caught up in just fixing silly mistakes that I forget to actually get to the eselect news that would have avoided the last stack of 6 compounding issues in the first place.

    But I love how fun it is and I'm never leaving no matter what other nix-like cults pop up

    How much more complicated is NixOS compared to a neovim setup? On paper I love the idea.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    Much more I think. The initial setup is the hard part, and I would recommend keeping a second computer on the side so you can keep trouble shooting when your display driver shits the bed or your wifi module decides it would like to take a nap.

    I installed NixOS a couple months ago, and it's been my smoothest Linux experience to date. Everything just worked, except I had to figure out how to open the firewall for my network drive on my home server to be discoverable and usable. But that was fairly expected. I game, so I stress test the graphics routinely. No WiFi, though, so I guess that could maybe be flaky.

    Wouldn't you be able to just rollback to a working generation?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

    Usually, breaks happen when you're trying to change something - if you aren't trying to install something or change some configuration everything that works will keeps working.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

    I maintain the opinion that NixOS exists solely to make us Arch users (btw) look not as bad in comparison.

    I spent almost 20 years as that wife.

    "They may be unstable but at least they notice when I'm in the room" -> As an arch user, fair. I can feel the change in air pressure as the door opens so I notice despite the noise canceling headphones
