It’s a graphical boot screen.

Just helps eliminate all the bootloader noise you see when booting up or powering off that make scare off less tech-savvy folks

I believe that’s correct – if nothing has changed from your last generation, then the new generation will be identical. But if something has changed, it will do a bunch of duplicating and remapping symlinks in the Nix store to ensure that everything plays nicely together and that you can rollback to a previous generation if needed.

So if you do a rebuild switch regularly, you will end up with gigs worth of old “copies” of things that aren’t being referenced in your current generation.

That’s what nix-collect-garbage handles – once you know your current generation is working well, you collect the garbage and recover that space, at the expense of not being able to roll back.

That’s why I think building a core system with NixOS and then having user software come from Flatpak is a nice combo for simple workstation that won’t update and bork itself, leaving my grandpa without a laptop until I can come take a look.

Edit: To clarify, nixos-rebuild-switch won’t update your Flatpaks at all – just the Flatpak service

null,

Yeah, obviously. But what do you mean you “switched to” plasma? It’s the default

null, (edited )

Nope, I think others have contributed meaningfully and I’m supporting what they’re saying.

You on the other hand refuse to engage with anything of substance. That’s what I’m shitting on.

null,

How original.

Keep patting yourself on the back for shallow thinking, I guess.

null,

At least you admit it.

null, (edited )

Yawn. Still no answers about the basics.

“Let’s just end murder” – Wow, I’m engaging in important political thinking!

null,

The official website with downloads is the first hit on Google…

null,

Thanks for the link!

It’s kinda more interesting that they are leveraging HoloISO rather than it just being a straight-up partnership with Valve.

null,

Except that time a year and a bit ago where an Arch update broke Grub for a huge number of users.

No distro is immune to breakage.

null,

Which game are you talking about?

NixOS beginner resources

Heya, been hearing about NixOS for a long time now, mostly from the peeps over at the Linux Unplugged podcast. So was thinking about jumping onto the nix-train, however it seems like it has a learning curve. Does anyone have any good learning resources, blog-posts, guides, whatever beans that you used to get started with NixOS?...

null,

Since you’re listening to LUP anyways, the Nix Nerds room on their Matrix is a great resource as well.

null,

There is. And the parent commenter can use it to find and share evidence for their claim.

null,

Ever done shrooms? Mix it with a little weed at the peak of a good 4-5g and you’ll get some weird shit. Not quite like the pic, but definitely more than waves and streaks.

null,

Same, except the most recent update causes random bouts of lag, but rolling back to 535 works for now.

Just curious about the other persons since they only mentioned Wayland

null,

How your performance with X11?

null,

It’s not false if the event changes the environment around it, which was my point.

No it wasn’t. That’s neither implied nor explicitly stated in your initial reply.

null,

And to recap, what you said is:

If an event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue, you will see that event happen using a binary search.

Which is, of course, false.

null,

And if you don’t listen to LUP, you should really listen to LUP. And all the other Jupiter podcasts.

null,

I’d challenge that asking what do you really need above base Debian?

I’ve got a script to set up my debian servers and it doesn’t include much beyond adding docker, assigning users to groups, and adding a couple tools (just looked them up: sudo ca-certificates curl gnupg ufw).

I saw a significant decrease in idle CPU and RAM load by switching from Ubuntu-server to Debian Bookworm + those tools.

null,

Doesn’t make it a prevailing attitude worthy of whatever nonsense that other guy is spouting.

null,

Yup, as soon as I moved to a privacy-focused browser, pi-hole, and VPN, I started getting a ton more captchas and they had many more in a row.

I consider it a badge of honor.

null,

Same – happy to seed as needed, but no idea how to find a good, general private tracker for shows and movies

null,

Projection.

null,

Can confirm I’m sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.

If I was interesting, maybe I’d make some of my own.
