Unix purists bullies another project

Hopefully it’s funny enough to offset that I’m reposting my own post.

I don’t really need swap until I need to compile blender… Need somewhere around 64Gb (with compression) to deal with the peaks

Never said that. In fact, enums have lots of issues that can add a lot of boilerplate code.
But actually having data associated with the type system instead of just a flag is a lot more powerful and less prone to errors than classic enums
You can also put functions on this union type that allows easy abstraction of what state the union is in

We aren’t talking about enums here? My bad

From sleepy brain to another, it’s a joke that Unix purists will go out of their way to remove a “sex” command just because it’s not following the unix philosphy.
There was 0 actual complaint, however, I will indeed remove the joke command as it won’t be the funny number version anymore

I don’t even install anymore I just do
nix run. What I use daily is in my nix config, the rest can stay in the store -

Oh I don’t mean derivatives doesn’t count. As their own. I mean when saying “debian” you don’t say “Ubuntu”. Just say both

Those are based on Debian. Not Debian. If you ask for a debian and I give you pop_os, you’d probably not like it.
And flavours are flavours, not distro. It’s the same distro, just different settings

Yeah it was my pipeline. But be wary, this is a hard path to take. The os is great. The package manager is great. The nix config language? Hahaha welcome to hell! It takes at least 6 months to get comfortable with it. And still, sometimes you can still come across a config file that will be totally alien to you. And when you need something not in the repos… time to learn how to package stuff!
It’s not to discourage you, but be warned. It takes time. I had 5 attempts at it before it became my daily driver.
Keep a working distro on the side. And when you start your computer, think about what you want to do. If you think you can do everything you want today in NixOs, boot it. If you have a lot missing/do not feel like configuring it, boot the other distro. Just start small. Do some little challenges like turning your config into a flake, create a nix os module, split your configuration in smaller more maintainable files, create a systemd service, wrangle with that damn home manager that keeps making everything so confusing.
And arch is actually the one from scratch. NixOs is intimately linked to systemd. Nix also requires some base dependencies like git and curl, so it’s not from scratch. However you could argue that NixOs is a “make a distro from the kitchen utensils and a recipe”.

I use Linux btw.
I don’t really promote nixos unless it’s for comedic purposes

Network installers
NixOs is in shambles

Never happened to me… But nixos? Exactly that. The distro is awesome, the language makes me want to print the entire source code and make it’s creators eat it

I don’t even read the nix files I install from lol

I do remove older versions, but I set the auto GC to do it at 5% storage remaining, so it doesn’t matter that the update is lighter, I actually increased the storage usage.
I also use bees to dedupe the nix store so I cannot say the raw size

I love looking at my NixOs rebuild result (using nh) and seeing -50MB.
… Then I remember I’m on nixos and it doesn’t matter much
This is fire, fox!
