NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^
That’s exactly how nixos went for me you feel like you understand it and then went to go and look at old configs after awhile and was like what in the fuck and rewrote the whole thing but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy to keep learning
Woohoo I’m almost driving the bulldozer… Almost
No temple OS?
Joking aside, has anyone legitimately tried to port an app to TempleOS, just for fun?
Dude I hate you. You got my curiosity. I’ll have to look into it. Damn it.
I’ve been searching for so long for a way to have my software and configs and project deps tracked in a way that doesn’t have me setting things up every time I switch to a new machine or–worse–opening an old project. I found some things that get me most off the way there like docker, rtx/mise, direnv, stow, or the package manager for whatever language I’m working in at a time. Still, nothing quite does what I need.
I tried our NixOS and have it on three machines as well as Nix on WSL. It took a while for me to figure it out, especially moving to flakes and separating user config out to home-manager. But it was fun enough to try and fail and fail and fail then succeed that I kept going. I think it might be what I’m looking for. I was able to set up a new machine by just cloning a repo and any time I cd into a project on NixOS or a remote Linux server or even Windows with WSL, everything is just ready for me. Do wish it were fully POSIX compliant, though.
I know this is from more of a developer perspective, but even for gaming and graphics I’ve never had an easier time getting Nvidia drivers set up.
I promise I’m not shilling. I still have a lot to learn. I think I made it past the cliff on this meme but I might be surprised.
One day, one day soon I will install nixOS on my ThinkPad. Til then I will continue using silverblue like a pleb
