I've broken both Fedora and Ubuntu already, so I had to find better solutions. With NixOS I can roll back to a previous revision easily on boot

Then how come we have more packages than the AUR?

And don't say it's because we packaged Python and Haskell stuff since we have more non-unique packages too

Nix, if it's not obvious from my other posts

I'm okay with this, as long as it's the one I'm using

There are only two options that fix dependency hell. Nix and Guix

You're re-inventing the Nix tool which is exactly a script that sets up all the programs and services you want to install

If you improve the installer to the point it can install any combination of software together (including incompatible versions of deps) you end up with NixOS again

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The services it installs are systemd, though

No need to make a new distro, just package it into NixOS

We also hunted mammoths to extinction

They were extinct for 12,000 and we're the cause. We ate all the megafauna to extinction and settled on farming when the weather got warm. Dire wolves weren't so lucky

Keep the programs in RAM so I can switch between them. Even my Pixel kills the game when I navigate away from it. It just thinks I have way too much shit open. So my phone has 12 GB of RAM and it's not nearly enough to multitask
