AI took one look at the nix docs
AAnd just went
GNixOS is for masochists
A"Oh hell to the fuck no"
VI gave up after I couldn't get my cursor to look right in firefox. A pre-installed app.
Aoh my god
Hremember
Abut yeah it's like, nix is one of those things where I look at it and go
GI wanted to get away from the massive configuration headache of Arch, not make it much worse lol
A"how do people use this"
HNixOS, not Nix PM
AYEAH LMAO
H
Alike Arch is one of those things I installed once from scratch (i.e not using the easy methods) because I just kinda wanted to say I'd done it
Abut it was like
WI tried aurora-dx the other day, DevPod is really cool and so nice having docker etc all pre-installed. I'm seriously contemplating switching to aurora-dx for my dev work.
A"ok sweet never doing this again"
AI took one look at NixOS and went
VI use aurora-dx on my school laptop, just installed bluefin-gx on my personal laptop to give GNOME another go
A"who is the target market for this"
GMasochists
Atrue
VPeople who need reproducability
HI hate and love gnome
VIf you was for whatever reason deploying NixOS, it'd be insanely good
Hhate cause GTK4 is pain
Hlove cause its sleek
GBut yeah if you're willing to sink in a lot of time to create a perfect reproducible config then Nix can be of benefit
Athe last thing I want to be doing is writing a million billion script files to make everything exactly how I want it. I know some people are into that and that's fine but I dunno I like actually USING my computer
Hbut also hate cause it feels like a touch tablet every time I use it
VI've always been KDE
HI use KDE cause its what I can use rn
HI don't like QT

FWith a passion
HLike I said, I've been waiting for a while now for a budgie version of Bazzite NVIDIA
FGnome2 is okay.
GIt's kinda hard not to like it when it's as polished as it is
AI mean, sure it takes a little longer to get features than KDE does but I find when it does get those features they're often significantly more polished
AEXACTLY
Ayou get it
GLol good minds think alike
