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

  • 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.

    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.

    Yeah, especially after discovering microvm.nix [1] I'm tempted to switch from Proxmox to NixOS.

    Edit: The VMs/LXCs are declared with Nix anyway.

    All my other VMs are NixOS...this is VERY appealing

    Thank you for posting this. I was looking for a way to be able to deploy just an app on a VM.

    What have you done to me, I'm in this position myself too because of the picture.

    I'm late to the Nix party. I do the bare minimum just for my at home media server. I guess it's a good time to get caught up on my Linux knowledge again.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    Do it. Don't just configure your server, configure all your servers... Forever. How hard can it be?

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

    disko + nix + home-manager. It feels like magic when the OS comes up from zero to exactly how you left it in two commands. From partition scheme and system configuration, to user configuration.

    And it's so easy to change out any system component to whatever you need or bring up a complex service with a little bit of nix config.

    I recently moved from Arch to NixOS. It's more fun than I thought it would be.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    I am in the same position too. I mean, the appeal is having a config to redo everything if something goes wrong. Unlikely a debian/arch machines that I setup that I had no idea how I got there and what I can or can't install/uninstall, lmao.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I'm too lazy to do anything about it.

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

    Nix is really cool to me but I can't get all benefits of using it so I'm sticking to Arch based distros.
