I am a distro-hopper, have yet to find my thing. Iâve recently been trying out NixOS, but decided to give something else a try, so after a lot of digging i landed on this KDE spin, which is based of the Bluefin Project. However, after having installed it via your typical installation of ISO Writer -> USB -> Install. I saw, after I booted up the new OS, that ânixosâ had remained in the label of my SSD. Was wondering if this is an intentional thing or a bug?
Have a nice day đ»

A drive label is just a string that can be set by any privileged process. Seems like this installation of the new distro didnât do that. Or you skipped a step in the install where you could have chosen the drive label.
If it is a bug in the installer or if you missed it, I canât tell.
But you can just change it in gparted or something else.
Yes,
It should not affect the working of the disk as UUID is used for identification of the disk for booting OS.
How did you install nixos? The labels for disks and partitions are usually set during creation.
If the KDE-spin installer did not need to reformat the disks (i.e. the partition sizes and formats didnât change) it probably didnât touch the partition labels.
You can change the label if it bothers you, just make sure fstab doesnât use the old label :)
Happy hopping!
Cool project, have to try it!
