create derivations

I installed SwayFX, but no program wanted to open in Wayland despite XWayland being installed, complaining about “no x server”, even the wayland-native programs. I gave up and went to XFCE4, then back to SwayFX because Wayland magically started workinng.

same, eastern-european, my programming setup is just neovim, cargo and rustc, and i freaking love mechboards

Sounds neat. I am really considering NixOS, that’s why I’m asking for advice here. It really sounds like a nice and more convenient distro. Sadly, I still haven’t figured out how to make my own builders, even after Nix Pills. Thankfully, programs like crate2nix exist.

Sounds great, but I don’t like editing a config file every time I want to install an app,.

Generally when over time you start installing more and more stuff and you forget to remove it and it feels clunky and bloated.

Right now I have a VM running NixOS, so I can figure things out. What annoys me is that when asked to list all the programs I want to use, I struggle, but installing things on the fly is so much more easier. Nix-env does that, but it doesn’t add it to a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, does it? Also, I know about home-manager, but I’ve heard it’s extrememly difficult.

That’s extremely inconvenient. Especially if you have important files you need to backup.

aw crap, I got c/wooooshed

Found the Microsoft shill/astroturfer!

Joined lemmy.world on June 12th, around July 3rd when it got overloaded I joined vlemmy.net, been happy ever since. So 2 instances. I still sometimes check lemmy.world to see if my posts/comments are posting because vlemmy is facing federation issues due to the reddit HoD.

Ditto, but replace lemmy.sdf.org with vlemmy.

I feel the same way

Vlemmy’s also pretty nice. Only difficulty with it is that I somehow managed to glitch jerboa into being in a limbo state of being logged into both vlemmy and lemmy.world. But, I managed to get that fixed.
