ChtGPT says Linux has the highest IQ users while pic related has the highest IQ users among Linux users

why would i use an os made by a tranny

certainly the users with the most free time
that chink grifter who used to be a meme on /g/ a long time ago basically predicted NixOS when he claimed that linux is only free if your time is worthless

to be fair, you have to have a high IQ to understand that after installing LightDM, you also need to enable its service

i dont think so
most high iq people just run fedora or mint or something. i use fedora + nixos

nixos is probably one of the highest learning curve ones along with gentoo,guix

>>109120239
THIS
also at some point maintaining your os becomes boring ime. There's not so much to do...
Like a themable terminal emulator, a browser, a text editor and some language compilers what else doe you REALLY need besides maybe some multimedia libs?
I wanna build things so I just use windows.

nixos really doesnt require much maintenance after the initial setup. running flake-update + rebuild-switch takes about the same time and does the same things as apt update + apt upgrade...

nixos is more like a neat-freak distro where everything you specify in your config file is in your system and nothing else is so it's 'cleaner' there's no orphaned files, old cache/assets of some program, anything.
>>
>>109120469
Ive done 2 distro upgrades on nixos now. they've been the easiest and least breaking out of any OS upgrade I have experienced in my life, phones included.
>after the initial setup
that really is the key part: if you want to try stuff and tinker, its kinda ass

nixos wiki + asking LLMs works fairly well to figure out how to do shit although you have to make sure the stuff they give you is up to date with current versions of nixos.

another advantage is if you work with git you can keep your entire system configuration in a git so you can always return to any past version of your system, see your entire configuration history and so one. in other distros this is either impossible or you can only go back to the past 2-3 versions via snapshots during updates.

>>109121156
homebrew is honestly faster and easier to use if you're on another distro. only get nix if it has packages you cant find on your regular distro's repos and on homebrew or if you need nix's unique features like having multiple specific versions of packages installed for different projects.
>>
>>109121156
nix-darwin is great and you can even use it to manage your homebrew packages declaratively, been using it since day one of my macbook m4
>>109121180
my point is that its just harder. you first have to understand how the component works you want to try out and then on top of that how that translates to nix, quick prototyping is just not fun

>>109120239
you complete retard. on my NixOS system all I needed to do was create my initial config and minorly tweak it every so often. from there it's just occasional upgrade commands. you act like you've conflated it with Arch, which is on the other end of the spectrum.

Searching for trannies instead of technical parameters is a sign of low IQ so it makes sense you got filtered.

Any OS that has you spending any amount of time maintaining it beyond simply applying patches are just fake-work OSs. Wantrapaneuer type of stuff.
How else to put this...
Ya know those people who have these elaborate note and information capturing and organizing systems? Building second brain wikis with all sorts of links and they spend loads of time optimizing that system and making sure everything is organized and then jumping to a new tool to do it all over again?
Yeah, don't be like that but with OS.
The true high IQ are the ones recognizing that their time shouldn't be spent babying the platform they should be getting work done on.

Or maybe I'm being a bit harsh and shitty. Why would someone want Nix Os...thigh highest of IQ Linux OSs over say Manjaro which just werks despite being arch based?
>>
Are flakes the only way to get modularity in NixOS?

>>109120000
ask chatgpt if its true

>>109125596
why is that, they're both written in c++
>>
>>109120427
Guix and NixOS both have intuitive installers. NixOS moreso, thanks to a graphical installer.

Guix does shovel in GDM, which is hard to remove. And if you try replacing it with SDDM, then it outright complains that xorg is not defined.

Eh it's more like as you get older and your time is squeezed between all the different things adult life requires you then youll tend to change what you consider a valuable struggle.

The highest IQ choice in OS is the one that fits a person's needs with very little, if any, requirement of the user to tinker with the OS itself.
>>
>>109125951
the bong wasnt a tranny when he made ARM, he wasn't even out as a homosexual. all the other examples are obvious bullshit but it's important that people know the actual context on that one as you hear it a lot. Acorn also created the BBC one generation before the Archimedes. Both were ridiculously expensive for what they offered and only had market share in heavily subsidized British schools.

Trannies shit up any project they are a part of and create more than any other group I've ever seen. You can seethe all you want, but for every Chud that vocalizes this point, there are 10-20 normal people who just think if quietly. Trannies also are extremely exclusionary and will actively attack members they consider to be politically incorrect. I've seen multiple projects that I'd want to contribute to that have as there very first rule "No Fascists" which means whatever the fuck they want it to mean.
On that note, I feel like the irony of how we spent the last 20 years snarking at Boomers for calling trade unions and socialists "Communistis" just to start calling moderate neoliberal capitalists "Fascists" is completely lost on the Left. Ironically enough, they were the main people being snarky about the "overuse" of the term Communist.

*create more drama than any other group I've seen
Need to proof read before I hit send.
>>
>>109128016
I never had any problem when pushing pull requests to nixpkgs repository and I barely interacted with any tranny since most maintainers are regular men. The beauty of NixOS is that it doesn't even matter since you can easily make any change into your system and revert upstream changes you don't like. But keep believing it's unusable because of some trannerinos /g/ told you about, I don't really care.

on the topic of nixos, did it ever recover from the trannies trying to hijack it
seems like it just died down after lots of shitflinging, havent paid much attention since
