Jump from Arch to NixOS?

Jump

  • I am allowed to use Ubuntu or Fedora (I would use the Fedora but they seemed to have fucked it up) at work. I use Arch for personal. This seams like a good way to learn Nix. I am probably never leaving Arch. It's like a member of my family.

  • Androis uses linux, but that does not make it a Desktop Linux. It's not invalid, just out of scope to this metric. It's pretty simple.

  • Most things that go mainstream get ruined. So long as there are enough hardware choices for us, I don't feel too excited about linux going mainstream.

  • Oh, even better. I'm going to put it on the Ubuntu desktop my employer wants me to use.

  • use Arch to manage your system packages and use Nix to manage your user & GUI packages

    Brilliant. Thanks.

  • I couldn't make Windows Vista work on my laptop I spent almost a year saving for. I've been on Linux full time since. Thanks Ballmer!

    • Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)

    1. They kinda suck. They take a long time to launch
    2. They are in practice proprietary to Ubuntu so they are not really FOSS
    3. The draw of Ubuntu it is was based on Debian Testing and therefor pretty stable.
    4. It's Yet Another Containerization stack. We already have flatpack, app image, chroot jails and more.

    Why would a serious user want a psuedo proprietary Nth app containerization platform that sidesteps a serious incubation chain and has poor performance?

  • The (48 hour) protests just communicate that u/spez can fuck us over 363 days of the year. The only thing that will work is leaving.

    • AUR is cool... but scary

    Jump

  • It's important to actually read what's in the packages. The AUR saves me time installing that I can use up front confirming.
