I am daily driving nixos. It is for those users who have already used atleast couple of beginner distros. Get familiar with packages terminal and other. It is just arch but stable even at the unstable branch. It has saved from breakdowns during important work. But nixos needs time to mature it's flakes and home manager.
Throw Mint Cinnamon or the latest version on the computer, solved. Ubuntu can.. be speshy sometimes on my older spare laptop, but it is not really their fault, more my computer is a bit cooked. Some puppy linux distros are cool, but also a tiny bit complicated for beginners.
No don't use Nix they're evil. Use Lix or Auxolotl or Tvix or Tangram or Brioche or Guix
Why is Nix evil? This is the first I heard
NixOS accepted a military company and Pentagon contractor as sponsor and only dropped it after backlash. Ever since then the trust in Nix governance is damaged, even with them trying to regain trust.
(There also are other problems it appears like a distro maintainer pushing new & superfluous core tools without any discussion about it, but this seems to be the biggest one)
Overall linux is insecure and trash. Everyone should use temple os. Its the only os whose creator made an os to evade cia, thus making it secure.
I want to install fooFlorp2!
check nixpackages:
"
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.fooFlorp2
];
or nix-shell -p fooFlorp2 "
edit configuration.nix, add pkgs.fooFlorp2
install happens, won't work, no mention about the binary
Web search
ohh you don't install it with pkgs, there's a systemd that has to be enabled, and some config wrapped around it.
But the documentation said...
The documentation doesn't lie, but it often doesn't give you the whole answer either.
I love nix, but installing anything interesting ends up with a lot of websearches.
On the upside, my home/work and travel pc's are all just lockstep. anything I install on one just ends up on the others, and that's something cool.
@fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com I think they found you
I'm in everybody's walls.... whispering the words "NixOS...."
