I didn’t look what community this was and was wondering where the steam deck is lol

polite_cat@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•Curb Your Enthusiasm and Crusader Kings III. Sounds good tbh, I'd watch that6·2 years agoThe Enterprise gets a emergency signal from Phobos, one of the moon Mars. When arriving there, they discover a portal to hell has been opened and demons are coming out of it. Spock says “Ripping and tearing them is the most logical course of action.” Cue opening
polite_cat@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Linux Experiment - NIX OS: the best package manager on the most solid Linux distributionEnglish1·2 years agoBasically yes
you could also go so far as to wipe your root partition (except for some selected dirs) on every boot, although I don’t do that myself: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence
polite_cat@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Linux Experiment - NIX OS: the best package manager on the most solid Linux distributionEnglish2·2 years agoI’d say it’s a pretty steep curve unfortunately, and nixOS is also not perfect, mind you
- The nix language (that is used for the configuration) itself has sometimes weird syntax. It’s also a proper functional programming languages with all bells ans whistles that brings
- The documentation is less than ideal (to put it mildley). Most of the times you need to search reddit (rip) and the forums to find how to do certain things.
- Nix is not FHS
compliant. Basically everything is a symlink to some file in the nix store,
located in
/nix
. Packages installed with nix are patched to work that way, but things not installed with it might not run out of the box
As for trying it out, yeah copying the config from the vm should work (except for maybe some hardware-specific stuff). remember to backup your stuff just in case lol
polite_cat@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Linux Experiment - NIX OS: the best package manager on the most solid Linux distributionEnglish2·2 years agoYour whole system is defined in a file called
configuration.nix
. This file describes everything about your system: all packages installed, which Desktop Environment / Window Manager to use, and also configuration for almost everything (e.g. zsh or neovim). When “switching” (which is basically installing/updating the system), Nix looks at the configuration and changes your system according to what you’ve declared in theconfiguration.nix
, installing or uninstalling packages for instance.So, the state of your system is “declared” in a single file, which can be tracked in git or backed up wherever. If you have mulitple systems, you can also share parts of your config between them, which makes configuring and customizing stuff a lot easier.
There are a lot of other aspects, but thats the basic gist of it
Kinda sus
Have you checked if they got a licence?
