NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^

That's exactly how nixos went for me you feel like you understand it and then went to go and look at old configs after awhile and was like what in the fuck and rewrote the whole thing but once you figure it out it's pretty easy to keep learning

Woohoo I'm almost driving the bulldozer... Almost

Joking aside, has anyone legitimately tried to port an app to TempleOS, just for fun?

Dude I hate you. You got my curiosity. I'll have to look into it. Damn it.

Lol let me know if you find a good video.

I've been searching for so long for a way to have my software and configs and project deps tracked in a way that doesn't have me setting things up every time I switch to a new machine or--worse--opening an old project. I found some things that get me most off the way there like docker, rtx/mise, direnv, stow, or the package manager for whatever language I'm working in at a time. Still, nothing quite does what I need.

I tried our NixOS and have it on three machines as well as Nix on WSL. It took a while for me to figure it out, especially moving to flakes and separating user config out to home-manager. But it was fun enough to try and fail and fail and fail then succeed that I kept going. I think it might be what I'm looking for. I was able to set up a new machine by just cloning a repo and any time I cd into a project on NixOS or a remote Linux server or even Windows with WSL, everything is just ready for me. Do wish it were fully POSIX compliant, though.

I know this is from more of a developer perspective, but even for gaming and graphics I've never had an easier time getting Nvidia drivers set up.

I promise I'm not shilling. I still have a lot to learn. I think I made it past the cliff on this meme but I might be surprised.

One day, one day soon I will install nixOS on my ThinkPad. Til then I will continue using silverblue like a pleb

You didn't even care to relabel the axes, I don't trust you.

It was about dwarf fortress, i refuse to belive otherwise

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I vaguely remember it being about EvE Online, totally possible it was repurposed.

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

what about rogue-likes on insane? people falling from the cliff sure looks like that to me

Yeah right now this graph says that on other OSs, your gaming skill steadily improves as you play.

But by the time you've learned and set up NixOS, your gaming skills will be crazy powerful but you've plateued.

...I guessssss it could make sense? XD

Yeah, no. Windows is the easy starter but the more you get experience, the more you fight the system.
Or you go the Linux approach and set your tooling up from start via third-parties from Chocolatey/Scoop. Guess the red line represents this.

For anyone worried about the Nix drama, a fork has already happened.

You can find it under lix.systems.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, was wondering what happened there.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's been a couple forks but that's not all. They are made votes to massively restructure their governance system. Things are looking up on the main nixos branch!

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

ooh, nice!

I've just red up on Tvix and looked at a few discussions regarding the post-drama work.

Would you mind pointing me towards more sources on the restructure?
