Why aren’t you using a flake?

[–] Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Not the person you asked but for me:

It's because they're a documentation mess caught in a release/stable discussion that I don't understand.

Perhaps that changed in the last year, haven't looked into them again since then - but unless there's a trigger (new server setup or official release for example) I simply don't have the time and energy to invest.

I still haven't found a good guide on how to use flakes though I've read many. It really is an incredible mess.

Thank you. I've seen that one before. Maybe it's time to dive in again. I even have a spare box to try on.
