Me, looking at the 6 pixels i placed until i forget about the browser tab:
I did my part!
The Enterprise gets a emergency signal from Phobos, one of the moon Mars. When arriving there, they discover a portal to hell has been opened and demons are coming out of it. Spock says "Ripping and tearing them is the most logical course of action." Cue opening
As an austrian, that's one more reason to be ashamed of our government. And it wont get better seeing as how popular the fpötards are :(
The beans are a lie
Where is "meetings that could have been an email"?
Basically yes
you could also go so far as to wipe your root partition (except for some selected dirs) on every boot, although I don't do that myself: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence
I'd say it's a pretty steep curve unfortunately, and nixOS is also not perfect, mind you
- The nix language (that is used for the configuration) itself has sometimes weird syntax. It's also a proper functional programming languages with all bells ans whistles that brings
- The documentation is less than ideal (to put it mildley). Most of the times you need to search reddit (rip) and the forums to find how to do certain things.
- Nix is not FHS
compliant. Basically everything is a symlink to some file in the nix store,
located in
/nix. Packages installed with nix are patched to work that way, but things not installed with it might not run out of the box
As for trying it out, yeah copying the config from the vm should work (except for maybe some hardware-specific stuff). remember to backup your stuff just in case lol
Your whole system is defined in a file called configuration.nix. This file
describes everything about your system: all packages installed, which Desktop
Environment / Window Manager to use, and also configuration for almost
everything (e.g. zsh or neovim). When "switching" (which is basically
installing/updating the system), Nix looks at the configuration and changes your
system according to what you've declared in the configuration.nix, installing
or uninstalling packages for instance.
So, the state of your system is "declared" in a single file, which can be tracked in git or backed up wherever. If you have mulitple systems, you can also share parts of your config between them, which makes configuring and customizing stuff a lot easier.
There are a lot of other aspects, but thats the basic gist of it
kill it with fire
