You’re pointing at the wrong country, Israel was only one of the tools used to destibilise the region.

My NixOS config works this way

nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade for system package upgrades and config changes

home-manager switch for user package updates and config changes

How bout you squeeze a lemon and mix the juice with soda water?

Great points about learning, but I’m just explaining what my original comment was about: daily experience of using a distro and reliability.

For me arch installation was the most educational Linux experience since after 10+ years of using Linux, that was the first time I clearly understood each part of the system. But tbh that knowledge has so far been mostly academic - knowledge for the sake of knowledge.

All this comparing and inter-distro warring seems pointless.

It’s got a point when every thread has people recommending arch, even when it’s not relevant in any way. We’re talking about arch in a thread about a nixos guide after all.

But there is in nixos you donkey…

There’s not a lot of competition in the bleeding edge rolling distro space, so I think it’s fair to compare them. Especially since you’re not forced to make it reproducible.

I wouldn’t suggest either to beginners either though.

I’m talking about day to day usage. Arch installation is a good learning experience, but running it for me was more trouble than it’s worth.

The worst issue I’ve had so far with nix is an update failing before it’s applied because of some package. Meanwhile arch would regularly update, and then fail to boot or break something.

I gave up on arch after a few years when I had to literally weigh whether -S or -Syu would be more likely to mess up my system while I was working abroad.

Got a lot of use for DE and other gui related modules in that usecase? Are you spinning up KDE to build a container? Did you write to the devs that they remove the installation wizard for desktop use? Did they accidentally add all of the non-reproducible imperative commands to nix?

Get over yourself. It’s a great distro for desktop use, and I seriously don’t get why you’re foaming at the mouth because people are using it differently than you…

Nixos > arch without a doubt

This…is not what this project represents or is meant for. Christ.

What do you think nixos is for?

That’s literally all it’s good for… reproducible builds.

Tell me you didn’t run nixos without telling me you didn’t run nixos

It’s based on FOSS designs, so you can DIY them for far less money.

An actual Linux distro has option like flatpak, nix, distrobox

“leaked” has also subtly changed meaning from the actual product (such as a game being released early through piracy etc) to just information about the product.

Just no… Information getting out despite attempts to conceal it, is the secondary meaning of that verb since at least the 19th century.

Half?

gasp

He even wrote a book for them called “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” !!!

They already got their puppet to take loans from western institutions instead of Russia, allow the privatisation of national resources and companies, and lift the moratorium on selling agricultural land. Now they need peace so they can start harvesting those resources…

Don’t judge by the dress, even if they were upper class. They were taught “womanly skills” so they’d have an easier time getting them married.

Also, tend farm doesn’t mean “work the fields”, but anything from doing household chores to supervising workers.
