ok it's on github now, about to write an issue report saying "bruh you dropped flathub???"

GUnderstandable lol
Kflex on em by forking and maintaining a flatpak
Almao true
Kand obviously having an order of magnitude more users
Awho the fuck stops building a flatpak and goes nix flake only
Dits forking time
Athis fucking idiot
Atime to fork and cherry pick rollbackkkk
A
ATHEY DID IT WITH THE GTK VERSION OF THE DAMN PROGRAM AS WELL
Dso this was a flatpak for a GUI that wrapped around evtest CLI command?
Dto test if your controller is working?
Ayeah
Abecause I don't want to keep smashing my head against a wall for 5 million years diagnosing some controller bullshit
Dand they can't be bothered to maintain a CI build job that could pull in updates and push out the flatpak automatically?
Aapparently not
Abut they can be bothered maintaining a fucking NIX FLAKE
GGives away that the maintainer is, in fact, a NixOS user
G:clueless:
Dis NIX even good? i kinda got the feeling it was just one more thing for youtubers to include in their tier list videos
GIt's good if you like making a declarative config for your system that sets it up the way you want consistently. But honestly I'd rather use ublue at that point
Vsome people like it. it's main issue is that it's totally different than how any other linux distro does things and there's no good centralized documentation
Atime to unbumblefuck this
Vto continue. they've also updated their way of doing things (i.e. flakes) but lots of documentation is pre-flakes, and system vs home-manger being different setups, etc.
Vtrying to make sense of anything as an outsider is :CirnoConfused:
Dsounds like an xkcd comic
Vthe arch wiki has spoiled everyone
Dthere's 10 standards, i will unify these and make an 11th standard
Anix is hell
Ayou know that phrase "linux is free if you don't value your time?" (which is false nowadays but y know)
Athat phrase holds true to nix users
D
Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.
Vwell, that's also true in an atomic and/or immutable sense. lots of different distros having a different way to do the similar concept.
Almao ok I don't think I even need to fork it tbh
Vfedora is image-based. opensuse uses btrfs snapshots. nix uses declerative configs. etc.
Agranted it might be a tad outdated because this bellend has been building for flakes only but I can just pull a tag
CBeen thinking of spinning up a home server lately, would be fun to try Nix but given my experience with Bazzite I'll just default to uCore
Ddon't forget whatever ubuntu is doing with ubuntu core
CDoesn't make sense for a single low-maintenance deploy anyway
CEspecially given how hardened Fedora is
Vwhy would they end a universal flatpack that everyone has access to... and only build a nix version that less than 1% of the current linux userbase even understands? i mean, i can understand 'in addition to' but 'only'?
GIf I had to install an OS for my server nowadays it'd either be uCore or TrueNAS depending on my needs
V"etc." doing work. there's also vanilla os, etc.
CThere are people who use
nix-shell as a package manager, but it shouldn't be doneGAt the moment it's on Debian though since it's an old server and it's been bulletproof with no reason to change the OS out lol
Vi'm using unraid atm for my nas/server like a pleb.
Vif i ever built a more capable server than just a simple nas that runs some dockers i'd probably try and learn proxmox
GProxmox sounds fun but also overkill for most home server needs
GI use the strategy of reusing old desktop hardware to turn into servers instead of investing into actual server gear
