I use NixOS btw

Wow, it seems pretty cool

EDIT: why does it have 5 tracking libraries?

The server issues and lack of mobile apps is why I switched back to Lemmy

Wow, that’s terrible for security.

From how you’ve described modifying your distro, that’s literally NixOS. Your entire config is declared in a git repo, when you update the system it rebuilds it from that repo. But you’ll have to learn the nix language, and it’s not a easy-to-use, beginner-friendly distro.

Don’t be just evil

Wouldn’t the password remain in the shell history? Or didn’t that exist back then?

You should probably try Linux Mint, or if you have an NVIDIA card, Pop!_OS

I’m just one of these.

(I use NixOS btw)

Seems like a nice distro! Iwouldn’t use it because I don’t want to go back to a “regular” distro after using NixOS, but I’ll definitely recommend it to friends. Too bad it doesn’t have an RSS feed for the news…

Good bot!

For distributing software (nixpkgs is a flake and many projects have flakes), replacing channels (again, nixpkgs is a flake) or managing configs (check out my repo)

They’re more reproducible, they make dependency management easier, the commands you use with them are easier to use and more readable, and it’s easier to have multiple packages/systems/home-manager profiles in a single git repo. They also make version management easier

I’m using NixOS, and I have a few tips:

1. Use flakes
2. If it ain’t working, steam-run it.

The thing is, sometimes apt install uses snap…

I haven’t had this problem.

Why did people downvote this? I’m thinking of switching from KDE to GNOME on my PC, with extensions it’s great for every usecase.

Maybe because it’s stolen from my reddit? If you want to, you can check it (same username there)

You stole my meme from Reddit :(

Tbh, I used to pronounce it ‘JIF’ (because in my native language, ‘gi’ is always a soft ‘g’, and I usually speak that), but now that I think about it in English, a hard G makes more sense.

In Romanian I also pronounce gigabytes as jigabytes :)
