I thimk the problem here's that whois is a cli tool.

But scrap that since there is already a web version of whois that you can use.

I'm the same but mostly because of health issues.

I live in country side and have some farm work to do, but because I'm allergic to grass and dandruff ( don't know the exact word for english ) if I go out in short's I will end up with legs full of red spots and itchy af.

When working with hayballs I literally need to have long sleeves and a mask to not have red spots on hands and not start to have problems breathing at times when my allergy is in full throthle at 30-40 celcius weather in summer.

The irony of being in countryside and having a farm but being allergic to what you work with.

I mostly just searched nixos how to package pyrhon/go/rust/ program or nixos how to package sddm theme/gtk/...

The best resource honestly are the randon blogposts since the wiki itself is really bad.

I also recommend the channel vimjoyer.

I also recommend to get into the habit of searching for options on https://search.nixos.org/options and for packages on https://search.nixos.org/packages which are great resources to know what you can set or install and already packages.

You can also check my nixos config on examples for how to package sddm theme and shell scripts.

I also have a couple programs on my selfhosted gitea that use flakes for packaging which you can checkout also.

Just about 90% of packages that I wan't to use

For me it's the fact that I almost always need a feature from a program that's in a recent release that is never in debian/ubuntu until a couple years later.

Just the pure act of installing a package is longer than with pacman for example.

And the way that apt has seperated regular package and -dev packages irks me a lot when I need a library for something I need to make sure to install a =dev package compared to most other package manager where libraries are installed with the lackage itself.

Seems like a fine idea, but nixos is just exactly what I want from a distro it turns out and nix is just the package manager I wanted but never knew I did.

You don't miss out on anything if it does what you need.

For me apt is just slow and clunky, don't like the way some of the commands are and they are long, I prefer the way that pacman and portage do it where I can make commands be sinple and only be couple characters instead of whole words.

I liked pacman because it was fast, and it was really easy to block a package from upgrading and downgrading packages is really easy.

I liked portage because it worked with program's sources so I was able to just remove part's of program's and their dependencies I didn't need.

I like nix now because of the way it manages dependencies, and for the fact that packaing programs in it is really easy to do.

That's fine when you need only one or two things, but when you wan't your whole system to be up to date as much as possible it becomes tedious.

I would hapilly use linux mint if only it didn't use apt, honestly don't like it as a package manager.

Ghere is also the fact that mint will have older versions of packages, for example neovim which I need to be latest version always.

That's why I loved arch and gentoo before, for their package managers and roling distro nature.

Now I'm on nixos unstable and it's currently my favourite unbreakable distro, and the nix package manager is really good and making my own pqckages is really easy.

Pozdrav brate.
