I'm still a Linux noob all things considered, and I've been using NixOS for six months or more.

It is HARD, but I see the true value of it. I will never need to reinstall Linux because I broke it, that's simply impossible.

If I ever need to migrate my system, it's all backed up to github. With a single

Bash update.sh

every single .config file backed up, system upgraded, all packages updated.

I just love Nix, it's the perfect OS for me.

Now I just need to learn how to use flakes...

Sidebar: I've never asked before, but maybe someone can help me out. If I install a flake of an application, am I supposed to add it to the existing flake, or can I modulate flakes?

I've noticed when installing the nixvim flake it generates a new flake and it runs when I issue the

nix run ~/.dotfiles/nixvim/flake.nix

command, but I don't want to have to run that command every time. I feel like making a fish abbreviation isn't the correct way of doing this.

  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 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.
