Not gonna lie, the fact that I can see all these neofetch images in the comment section has me sold on Lemmy over Reddit.
Right? It looks so good
just one of many reason to choose a superior platform
Anyone here on Steamdeck?
I wasn’t aware steamOS used Pacman, i thought it was immutable
You can kinda make it bend a bit to your whim. While it is technically immutable if you don’t mess with it, it does have everything necessary for using pacman. It just all reverts next time steamos updates. Anything you install directly through the discover portal is permanent, but it does technically have access to anything in the pacman repos as well.
I unlocked mine long enough to download neofetch and take the screenshot for this. It’ll revert back soon, but I only needed it temporarily for imaginary internet points. :)
I always enjoyed NixOS, but then I got some CRAZY hardware issues. Like my monitor wouldn’t turn on crazy even though it’d be working fine for a while.
That sounds more like a kernel issue than a distro issue. Were you on regular linuxPackages or linuxPackages_latest?
i tried it once, for one reason or another i didnt get past a few minutes would love to try it again what would you say does nixos do over endevouros/arch?
what would you say does nixos do over endevouros/arch?
Well, …everything?
Conceptually, endavour/Arch are closer to Windows than they are to NixOS. The only commonality is that they’re made up of the same software components.
The way you set up a software environment is totally different. I’d highly recommend some research on what NixOS’ declarative configuration is and what it means in practice.
Updated to Bookworm just the other day.I’ll eat my hat if I see anyone else here using this hehe
well, i at least know its a source based distro
It is! I mainly posted this to spread the word, SourceMage can always use more users :) We’ve actually been around almost as long as Gentoo!
ill give it a shot than at one point
If you ever have any problems getting it up and running, stop by #sourcemage on libre.chat irc and we’d be glad to help you!
okay thank you
This is my dualboot install on my old laptop that I used in high school. The trackpad is chipped, and I only use the Windows install for those pesky pieces of invasive proctoring software in use in my college courses. The Mint install, I primarily use for downloading stuff (Persepolis) and data recovery (Because Windows shits itself if you dare plug in a damaged drive).
NixOS! 💪
Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,…you’re all making me feel like a basic removed.
Super surprised to see the number of void linux here in this platform
There’s a lemmy.ml/c/voidlinux community as well.
But yea, I once met a Void user at a party, and it seems like any number above ‘0’ is a surprise.
Well, it is a pretty great distro, so I’m glad to see it catching on.
Chicago95, a person of culture.
WindowMaker and Chicago95, what a nice aesthetic you have going!

The retro look :DHaha, I’m just used to it, been using WindowMaker since 1999 I think (Red Hat Linux 5.2 Apollo was my first distro).

Does this count
all fetches are valid
Distrobox ftw
