Glad you asked! To start, the module system is really powerful, especially coupled with the flexibility of the nix language itself. It takes work to wrap your brain around everything but once you do it becomes such a cool ecosystem. If Arch is like using Lego blocks to configure your system, NixOS is like using a 3D printer. You have to learn about the store, function libraries, etc. It can be complicated and messy. But you can do some pretty cool things with it!

What's the repo situation like? Does it have all or most of the packages you'd want?

smiletolerantly@awful.systems · 2 pts · 244d

nixpkgs is the largest repo, period.

w3ird_sloth@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 244d

There's loads. I've never had trouble finding any and you can build/customize your own. You can search through the main repo here: https://search.nixos.org/packages but there are also loads of user made modules.

With some tweaks to the flags you could recompile everything optimized to your hardware but now reproducible

I know, love, I'm just joking around.

NixOS gives you a declarative build from a config file, so you can reproducibly deploy the same system, without worry of a system using different dependencies.

MicroOS does something similar in that you can first boot from a config file and the system builds, including services and applications.

Hope they find it, those are expensive to replace.

The easy fix is to geht fucked im your ass, if ur a guy. Because the getting fucked counters the fucking. Just remember to allways do the same ammount, otherwise it wont work.

It's a Unix derivative. To get the fundamental software thing working, someone has likely had hot gay sex. To get the modern software going, someone has had hot transgender sex, hawt furry yiff, and autistic sexual intercourses. ...What I'm getting at, sex won't make Arch unbootable. Guess you just personally fucked up somewhere.

IronBird@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 244d (1 reply)

autistic sex is a whole seperate thing?

umbraroze@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 244d

Nah. Tried to imply that everyone has sex. Even if you're not thinking about it. (Especially if you're not thinking about it.)

I want to make an alt account on whatever git Omarchy is on, to file the bug report:

I was nice to an immigrant, now Omarchy is refusing to boot with the following error message:

User is a libcuck, here's an anecdote about a heinious crime commited by a Muslim, now you need to pretend this is what 95% of all Muslims are.
