Nixos.

  • I will. I could already fall in love with it I think.

    Still some minor issues but for example I installed timeshift and wanted to set up a root backup when it hit me: i don't need that on nixos XD.

    The only thing I still need to figure out is how do I automatically backup my nix configuration. But maybe sth. Like Dropbox will do.

    I don't want to publish it to git unsanitzed.

  • I could fix most of my issues by purging kde settings. And fixing the ownership of the home folder.

    I could get working iscsi. And now I think I am happy with what is working. Screen tearing is a bit of a issue thanks to Nvidia and my 2 monitor setup, but it isn't as bad as on other oses.

  • So just for fun I'll document how everything goes.

    Making a new user with fresh home folder fixed most of my issues.

    I managed to get iscsi working.

    Vlc settings can be changed in the new home folder too, but for some reason this vlc version shows ssa subtitles wrong. Probably not nixos fault.

  • The concept is a great idea.

    The documentation is rare and the atomic behaviour seems to break my whole Linux work flow.

    Which is a good thing I guess. But I can't Google "how to do x on nixos" and get a reasonable answer. I get nothing. Or some weird forums where I don't know what they are talking about.

  • Well if you know Jordi because je is in every 3rd Brazzers porn then you just have to search through the pornos he made.....

    Well I guess I am just a pervert who knows too much porn.

  • I will give it an honest try but so far I am upset by the software not working as expected.

    And hell your documentation is lacking.

    There is a single software center currently in beta to install software with gui. And the nix-env version does work well actually but the configuration.nix install is hardly documented and not intuitive.

  • I did install vlc. I started vlc. I noticed completely wrong subtitle size. I went to settings and tried to change some and save. Vlc throws an error it can't save the file, permission error.

    I install vlc with flatpak. Same subtitle error. I go to the settings, I don't get an error but the settings don't change anything.

    Also almost anything i do in the plasma settings doesn't get saved.

    And that shit should only be saved in the home folder.

    I think I have to clean my home folder.

    But then I have to do the setup of plasma again.

  • The benefit would be: changing stuff doesn't break it. And if it does you can easily roll back. Keeping the config file sets up a new installation like the old one without trouble. Somehow I don't think you really need it if you aren't distro hopping but I need it way too much.

    Currently the trade offs are too big I think. Programs don't work because of the atomic behaviour.

    And the learning curve is steep even for Linux veterans.
