>>109373637because I'm not trans
because sixos exists
>>109373637Because NixOS is highly dependent on systemd, which is a deal-breaker. Besides: why would I want anything more than a traditional linux?
>>109373689> sixos existsand i thought that before i switched and having everything in one place (system management, package management, configuration) makes me very happyplus loads of other shit
>>109373637I don't want to deal with the configs atm, but it sounds interesting. I just want my shit to work.
>>109373637I have and it's awful, except for everything else.>>109373689I was like this once but the Nix pill is too great. Some sacrifices must be made.
Sophie-chan!
>>109373689>i like to write init, start and stop bash scripts.
>>109373637I did, I tried it for four months, but being a gamer who likes modding things and retro games, it was a dealbreaker that they either didn't work or expected me to jump through flaming hoops.Also, case-sensitive filenames and how Linux handles folders (everything on The Pile™) was a huge thumbs-down.
>>109374164I wrote them more than 15 years ago and they still work fine.
>>109376553No thanks
>>109373637>why haven't you taken the nix pill yet anon?it's good for my 2 servers but i don't think thats useful for a desktop OS. in the end i still use nix-darwin but only there's still an escape hatch where i can install random shit on my laptop without having to fear that there isn't a derivation for it
>>109373637>>109373668
>>109373637Has its use-cases but I really don't get it for using a at-home desktop, the portability of the system doesn't really make sense if you own only one computer, that bundled with the fact that it operates so differently from any other distro with such little documentation comparably makes it basically a non-starter and objectively inferior to most others for a home desktop.
>>109373637tried it for over a month before the troon hostile take over, it's absolutely worthless.I'm still trying to find a single good reason ot use it but I just can't, especially now that development basically stopped as the two (white) dudes who did everything got their lives ruined and porn addict pedophiles are now "in charge" ie ban people on the forum and doing meetings on discord.
>>109373637Sophie would prefer gentoo.
>>109373728>I just want my shit to work.nix just werks, after you painstakingly configured everything
>>109376623the cool thing about nix-darwin is that you can still manage your brew packages with it as well
>>109373637too busy guix-ing out
>>109373637I couldn't be harsed to write everything myself
>>109376593All distros with sysvinit have their own initscripts already written and ready, you don't have to write one yourself.
i use linux mint because im a simplistic and lazy fag
