I love NixOS! Been using it on all my devices since January and probably never going back :)
It all sinply just works™! Don’t worry about configuration :) As long as you’re not using relatively obscure software, you’ll be more than fine reading the docs/manual :)
If you still want to use obsure stuff though, the community on matrix is very active and helpful! Plus most (interesting) projects have at least one or two very dedicated Nix fanatics (/maintainers) willing to help others :D
I’m more of a bottom, if you know what I mean.
Here I am waiting for nigahiga to ever post again.
Shouldn’t UK or at least England be “arse” and not “ass”?
How to introduce religion to a new civilazation
Yeah, it really isn’t for everyone. The advantagees it provides is mostly for developers and companies. If you’re a company, managing a NixOS fork is useful, so all users of the system are on the same page always.
Otherwise the package manager itself can be used on its own. It’s neat being able to use packages from basically any distro without even needing to use a VM.
Nix is daunting indeed, but cool for those who want such tooling
I’d recommend https://typst.app/. Super easy to structure text like LaTeX and 100 times easier to use :)
Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it’s mostly:
Otherwise I don’t really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don’t even get me started on Word).
There are official ones and there’s also https://github.com/qjcg/awesome-typst
I took one of those and easily adjusted it to my needs. It’s so easy and intuitive! And fast!!!
Typst is awesome and sooo fast! I literally ported my thesis mid-way to it and haven’t looked back since. Love it all the way.
Where does NixOS place within these?
Is the color named for the inside? I thought it was because of how they turn red, when they’re on their way to mate (link for reference)
Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack
If you’re not a techy person/power user, I would recommend staying with Kubuntu/Xubuntu (flavors of Ubuntu, that seem familiar to Windows users), or a more loved variant Linux Mint. You’ll have everything you need there, and your gaming will do just fine using Steam thanks to Proton. My first time (~2014) I went with Ubuntu, since it has an easy to use installer (like most distributions), with relatively sane default settings. Nowadays I would recommend Linux Mint or anything Debian based for the stability.
Where is the first picture from? I’ve only seen the statue in Bremen (Germany), but never really looked up what it meant or where it really comes from.
I see Joback Morseham, I updoot.
Nice try, but we can all clearly see that those are two pictures of joker side-by-side.
All the needed AMD stuff is pretty well documented in the manual. I’m gaming on NixOS with even my “relatively old” AMD GPU.
The only time I heard about needing that was when using plain “nix” (not NixOS), as in using Nix under any other OS, to run graphical applications. I haven’t touched nixgl at all, and don’t see the need for it.
Literally my terminals (kitty is my main) + foot. Both working easily either under main NixOS config or Home-Manager. What’s supposed to not be working there?
Literally don’t know what your problems are/where they lie. I’m a Linux noob (don’t even have the patience for Arch Wiki + install), coming from Pop_OS to NixOS and I’m happy it’s all so easy. I’ve installed it on my main PC and two separate laptops and so happy to just share (basically) the same config on all of them.
