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.

    I laughed about the meme.

    But It's the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

    Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It's a nice life on Nix.

    Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It's a long and very particular list) I'll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.

    Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.

    I would be willing to do this, yes.
