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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I am daily driving nixos. It is for those users who have already used atleast couple of beginner distros. Get familiar with packages terminal and other. It is just arch but stable even at the unstable branch. It has saved from breakdowns during important work. But nixos needs time to mature it's flakes and home manager.

    I want to install fooFlorp2!

    check nixpackages:

    "
    environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.fooFlorp2 ];

    or nix-shell -p fooFlorp2 "

    edit configuration.nix, add pkgs.fooFlorp2

    install happens, won't work, no mention about the binary

    Web search

    ohh you don't install it with pkgs, there's a systemd that has to be enabled, and some config wrapped around it.

    But the documentation said...

    The documentation doesn't lie, but it often doesn't give you the whole answer either.

    I love nix, but installing anything interesting ends up with a lot of websearches.

    On the upside, my home/work and travel pc's are all just lockstep. anything I install on one just ends up on the others, and that's something cool.

    Nix OS is so much pain

    Use Ansible or something else

    [–] dai@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

    I use NixOS on all my machines, much less pain and suffering than I've had on other distros.

    Ubuntu was so good. Too bad my brother simply shut off my VM when I was using it
