Had too much fun with my #nixos setup. https://github.com/nomsi/lynlix Too many emojis 😤 Also prepare for the worst way to install and setup a niche VPN (speedify)
I wonder how often people actually update their distributions if they are rolling? It makes sense for drivers sure but like if there is a crapload of libraries do you just update everyday? I ponder this sometimes
I upgraded to 64gb of ram for the hopes of VFIO but I ran into an issue. I really need another drive for more storage.. I'm getting married in a few days and applying for my visa so that & my IBM keyboard adapter will have to wait quite a while I haven't been back on windows since the new year!
Roses are red Stockings are nylon YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
I literally cannot sit on NixOS for more than a week on my main system and I do not know why
Far right accounts will be hunting for people on social to post about and being attention to so they get their documents revoked. Far right accounts like libs of tiktok are essentially private stasi on the payroll of the oligarchs.

I'm getting a second 2070 super to VFIO Tiny10 for VR because my niche OS doesn't support the niche VR things I do
I've been daily driving Linux now for 2 weeks and so far, nothing out of the ordinary. All my apps work (yes even my 32b DOS apps!!) happiness!
I unfortunately have to jump back to arch+nix for a while longer. Ran into issues I just don't want to sit here all day fixing, but you know what I love? Git pulling my setup and it just *works*
Okay ran into a funny issue on #NixOS: GNOME 47 fails to run with SteamVR (crashes session completely), KDE (my main DE anyway) works fine but when Steam requests permission it fails if you installed it under GNOME like I did. It's solved with a reinstall, though!
Is Ubuntu really that bad these days? I remember using Ubuntu 7.10 and getting my free CD and stickers; and having a great time with compiz silliness
I really like NixOS. It's like designing the OS for me and me alone. It makes me happy that I get to tinker like this again! I would also like to learn something like sway or i3 or hyprland but I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to give up my KDE/gnome lifestyle just yet!
Little fun fact about me: my parents were anti-tech in the 90s and 00s, my first computer was my grandma's att 3b1 she had from her neighbor who left it to her so I'd go to her house, and she gave me the manuals and I fell in love in 2002, she got me this ratty 8088 that had SLS on it! 1/?
I've been having a lot of fun on NixOS and setting things up the way I want but I can't shake this feeling, I want to try Arch w/ nix and get a better understanding of everything. My surface though, has been liberated with a complete arch setup for work! I'm even learning NeoVim!
Dear Nix community, as you've all been very helpful and wonderful; should I install all my apps using home manager in little modules to keep it clean and nice for generations or should I just stick with the basic configuration?
Update: temporarily destroyed my nix install with arch to decrypt my windows drives so I can get my games back
If NixOS is declarative and doesn't follow user space standards for most Linux distributions, would I struggle with Steam updates every like 6 months?
I finally jumped from using Nix on *nix and WSL to just replacing W11 entirely with NixOS. Home-manager is really nice and I like I can replicate what I do on anything. Wish me luck for attempting VR this new years
I want to switch back to Linux so bad but VR for linux with a quest outside of monodo/wivrn (basically steamvr w/ alvr) is such ass when wireless
Government drones above my barn: How long will the radical left liberals cover this up? They keep calling it “the big dipper” but I know it’s just drones.
