Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    What if the perfect distro were the configs we made along the way?

    [–] Johanno@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Only to drop them all in favor of nixos. However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix

    [–] VicentAdultman@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    That's my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn't had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was... something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.

    Well documentation is still not great. But I can deal with it.

    The first step is to really understand how nix works and how nix-shell -p works.

    Then probably know that autoPatchelfHook exists

    And sth. You have to watch out for if you install sth. With a daemon or a service you need to enable it additionally to the installation.

    So for example for open-iscsi you need to enable the service.open-iscsi = enable so it can work.

    Flakes are still a nogo for me. I don't understand them and I don't want to deal with them until I get the rest into my head.
