how is that fragmentation it’d be a front-end not a whole new software

Here’s my distrohopping journey (including non-Linux OS)

• Windows 7 →
• Windows 10 →

Mid 2021, I tried Fedora Linux in a VM and was unable to install it, but I liked it regardless.

So, a while later I decided to try this “Linux” thing on my computer.

• Linux Mint (late 2021) →
• Arco Linux (arch felt too intimidating) →
• Debian (stability = good?) →
• Debian Sid (stability = boring) →
• Artix Linux OpenRC (omg i hate systemd so much!1!!) →
• Void Linux →
• Artix Linux runit (it didn’t work) →
• Arch Linux (how do i use systemctl wtf) →
• Void Linux again (ah, ln -s /etc/sv/something /run/service/)→
• NixOS unstable (since January 2024)

Honestly, I’m just glad I found something I liked, as NixOS is perfect for tinkering.

During all that distrohopping, I “DE-hopped” even more. Currently I run SwayFX, but I’ve used Cinnamon, XFCE, Plasma, GNOME, AwesomeWM, i3, bspwm, dwm, swaywm and Hyprland.

edit 1: add Artix Linux runit

edit 2: remove NixOS stable from the list

the car already has metal in it, so the metal block is unnecessary

They’re replying to the person asking for punctuation, not the one talking about capitalism in the US.

What’s wrong with asking for punctuation?

If you don’t understand what someone says, you should ask for clarification instead of making assumptions.

I though only GNOME cared about having client-side decorations? Probably why any GNOME app I have has an annoying toolbar when I’m using a tiling window manager.

Yep. I am also that person. I’m worried I’ll forget about the thing I have to do if I do literally anything else.

I use NixOS, and I’m confused. Why is a fork of Nix necessary? I’m out of the loop.

edit: currently looking at lix.systems and aux.computer for info.

So… should I just switch to Lix? Like are there any problems I should expect?

edit 2: i tried switching to it, but got an infinite recursion error in my flake.nix, and honestly i don’t feel like dealing with it right now.

Unfortunately, my dotfiles aren’t public

First: Scratch 3.0

Most used: Nix (mostly for my system configuration)

callyral, 28 days ago

I started with NixOS and now I installed something called “Lix”

Yeah I’m too far in to return

The ‘code’ tag here does not respect newlines,

Now there’s a newline between every single line of code
