[β] Grenfur@lemm.ee 41 points 1 year ago* (2 children) This is my biggest issue. I am utterly spoiled to the exquisiteness that is Arch's Wiki... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 19 points 1 year ago (2 children) I mean the Arch wiki mostly works on NixOS too. The problem with NixOS documentation is that there aren't many examples for the Nix language itself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) What is the Nix language like? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] grandma@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 child) If Haskell and json had a baby permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago Hmm, that sounds more like dhall permalink fedilink source parent [β] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago* Terrible. Unless you like Haskell, DSLs, and the like. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) I've found that the Arch wiki works for most distros if you know how to translate it. There have been multiple times I've searched how to do something or how to fix something in Linux and the only useful result is an arch forum or wiki. All I had to do is translate the steps for debian/ubuntu/opensuse/fedora/rpiOS, etc. The process was usually "search this error" > "this part" isn't working, search "this part error" > arch forum showing steps to fix. Search "where the fuck is this file in ". Get "it's usually here, here, or over here", then do arch steps. Then there's opensuse, and there's fucking camelcase capitals in their packages (NetworkManager? Seriously?) so I have to Google "opensuse <command/application> package" like a fucking rube. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 2 points 1 year ago Yeah one nice thing about nixos is that their package search website is really good.
