Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 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.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    What's the difference? No matter how hard I look, most of their websites just consist of them advertising that they are immutable.

    Nix os is on the fence tho. It is immutable, but got hot reload so...

    [–] a14o@feddit.org 23 points 3 months ago (16 children)

    It's not just debatable, it's beside the point. NixOS is declarative, trivially reproducible and natively container-ready, that's what makes it so great.

    Until you realise that you need to learn a whole programming language to run one executable outside of the package repos

    I do respect nix, but it ain't for me

    Man doesnt even know distrobox exists

    (Or flatpak of appimages or any other containers)

    Good luck even finding something not in nixpkgs though

    One of my favorite apps actually wasn't in nixpkgs (don't worry, I fixed that). But I was pretty surprised to learn that it wasn't there.

    I'd say what it is, but I'd be doxxing myself.

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Well true but that ain't native.

    Also, great exemple: blender launcher. I work with multiple versions of blenders, and it's a must have.

    If you'd prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

    All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

    Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey
