Where NixOS?
It me. I am Happy baby.
Urn full of ashes - Manjaro
Lemme zoom in here just a wee bit on this here whatchycallit… Meme? Oh fiddlesticks, I don’t have me glasses… There they are… Oh! Hee hee haa haa you young fellers are drole.
I use Debian.
As a Debian user. I’ll take it. Could be worse, could be anyone of the others.
not accurate

well…

how many years more i have to use mint until i rejuvenate?
As a Linux Mint Debian Edition user. I guess I’m just Benjamin Button.
Fedora user wearing Fedora. Might be a little on the nose.
I wear a fedora, and I’ve used nearly any and all distros as my daily driver, except fedora.
It’s so confusing.
It’s okay. Apparently women don’t use Linux. Unless they wear socks apparently? Or is it just the men using Arch that wear the socks? Also confused.
Ummm accccctually it’s a trillby.
I stand corrected! :)
Ummm actually, it’s pronounced acktually
Hats are also just super uncomfy and mess with my hair.
Hey I’m not that old!
I came to say excactly that.
1995 was 10 years ago right?
So feels like it.
Would be nice.
Can we pick this up again from 2005?
Absolutely. And 1980s was about 20 years ago.
Always
Never met an arch user, but I know a NixOS user who is pretty much the bottom middle.
The arch users are also bottoms.
Can confirm. I arch bottom, btw.
I run
tophtop😏
Yes, am a literal toddler.
I always felt that the default package situation for Ubuntu was far better than Debian’s. Like, no, I don’t want to set a root password and then manually install sudo or doas after and then add myself to the relevant group and then remove the root password…
Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it’s very good.
Get off my lawn
As always people forget glorious Nixos
I think we NixOS users get grouped in with Arch. Same socks, different colors.
The one NixOS user I know is genuinely like that lol.
And the even more glorious, guix
As a NixOS user, what are some things I would like about Guix? The webpage mostly covers features already present in NixOS, so I’m curious how they diverge.
- Superior Error handling and debugging(with Lisp REPL) thanks to Guile Scheme language.
- Guile scheme is easier to write and understand. It has a mature ecosystem of libraries and standard programming constructs (macros, recursion, higher-order functions)
- In Guix System, the package manager, the build system, and the system configuration are all written in the same language.
- No systemd, Guix system uses GNU Shepherd. You define services directly in Guile Scheme. This allows for dynamic service manipulation, hot-swapping, and introspection using the same language as the rest of the system.
- Guix home (the home manager) is built in and very easy to use if you already got the hang of Guile Scheme.
- Guix uses linux-libre, which is fully free kernel. If your hardware is not supported (likely) there is a nonguix channel to get proprietary packages to make it work.
- The standard guix repository contains only free software. Proprietary software can be installed via some other channels, but not recommended.
Thanks for the breakdown. Those are some good arguments in favor of it I hadn’t heard. Nix lang can leave some things to be desired, especially in the error handling/debugging department.
If NixOS uses systemd that’s the difference probably, my understanding is that guix is a non-systemd distro. (I am not who you replied to, just trying to help.)
Don’t forget the Gentoo crowd
Had gentoo as my daily driver for years, then it turned out that I was worse at optimizing my system than the debian guys who create distros professionally, so I just… stopped.
Spent too much time fiddling with gentoo because it was fun, now I’m on fedora because it just works and is modern enough.
(The amount of time spent fixing my system once I discovered “breakmygentoo” we probably shouldn’t talk about)
I am sorry, but that notebook is way too modern for a proper Gentoo user. Anything above 500MHz is wasted energy with useless kernel flags
If it compiles too fast, you don’t have time to properly savour it.
He has to use a separate mouse! A mouse!! Never seen a mouse user in the tiling wm world.
Any web developer needs a mouse.
Or anyone who works with any ticketing system.
I guess tiling WM users never need to edit an image, eh?
That’s a badass
capecloak.Right! I want one.
We really need to bring back cloak-wearing…
+1 for Dr Pepper
-1 for non Lenovo machineThe total is zero, the Force is in balance. All is well
Wouldn’t a real Gentoo user use a genuine IBM era Thinkpad?
Now that we can game, we need the horsepower.
I resen… Shit he even has a DrPepper. I guess I need to wash my cloak.
Hoodie, MX Master and Gentoo, that’s literally my old stack, except it was a desktop not laptop.
Genuine question: is that cloak yours and how did you make it?
This is a random internet image for shitposts and giggles. I considered the face to be obscured enough for the guy to be sufficiently anonymous, though he deserves fame and fortune for his awesomeness.
