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 members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    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 fork-bomb your computer.

    Eventually the proper name for the operating system will just be the full configuration.nix file, and we'll all rename our backups to "FullLegalName"OS

    In this future, NixOS replaces all other distros as the defacto standard way to manage packages

    If only nix wasn't such a pain to read, with all the conveniences it has like automatically looking up variables in all of the places available.

    I understand the thought, but it feels like a lot of things done to simplify writing the code makes it way harder to read, and nix's design is decades old and it really shows

    Also, there are sometimes issues with nix on macos, but I'm inclined to blame it on Apple

    Apple ruins everything it touches and sells the solution as a product or service

    but to get there NixOS needs proper documentation

    I only understand Slackware.

    Will I survive?

    When the heat death of the universe arrives, the Sackcloth and Ashes that is Slack will be there to mark it's passing.

    Not even Debian will survive, but Slack will go on. Tar Balls Yum!
