Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

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 remove France.

I like it, but don't expect it to save you any time unless your managing 3+ computers.

Yeah, it definitely seems aimed way more at cluster deployments. Still, a very cool concept to tailor the OS towards.

While it is definitely amazing for cluster deployments, Nix, the package manager behind the OS came out of the creators PhD thesis.

It is quite a successful attempt to make builds completely reproducible. NixOS, is what you get when you build a distro around a package manager, rather than a package manager around a distro.

I use it as my daily driver these days, and haven't had any issues with it for gaming, and due to the way its package manager works, I prefer it for development over anything else.

It is the most stable and unbreakable system I have ever used, despite using the unstable repos. It also has the most up to date repo on linux. As far as unique packages, it is a close second to the AUR, but it is catching up.

It isn't for everyone, and may be betamax to containerization when it comes to software development, but for the time being, I cannot see it going away anytime soon.
