#NixOS Is in some serious drama right know!
#Linux

The yearly :nixos: #nix / #NixOS community survey is online:

:nixos: Mmm, nothing warms the cold void in my soul quite like fresh #NixOS drama. :nixos_contrib:
#Linux #NixCommunity

I never use a software store; the cli rules for me. The Cosmic Store though adds community made applets for the desktop environment. A couple of days ago I easily added a theme to the repo. This community-contributing aspect is a bit overlooked, but it makes Cosmic stand out.

I think it is a nice idea to highlight why we like working with #Nix and #NixOS to remind us, why we all are doing this in the end.
For me it is still the best experience in #freesoftware I…

"To start with #Nix was one of my worst IT ideas so far."
Read about the reasons why #NixOS did not work out for me on:
Good bye NixOS, Hello #Debian (Again)!

Dear #NixOS SC electorate, you may now choose between me, myself and I.

#limine looks interesting. A non-annoying way to get secure boot and a pretty boot menu in #nixos? Sign me up.

The #NixOS moderation team resigns "effective immediately, in protest of the Steering Committee’s ongoing pattern of attempting to interfere with moderation team operation, membership and specific moderation decisions."

I like that you can run Linux in a VM on android now (including #nixos) but man is the terminal app crap. Been playing with the android 16 desktop stuff too, and its also quite half baked for now.

During the last 2 years with #NixOS, I've mentioned multiple times that my system performance is very poor on my backup notebook: Lenovo #X260 with a 2y old crucial 2TB SATA SSD BX500 2.5"
After setting it up with Debian 13 on the 2TB SSD as well as on the original 250GB SSD, I have to say that th…

stimmt meine beobachtung auf den #datenspuren, dass zeitgenössische #catgirls nicht mehr auf arch betriebsystemen laufen sondern auf #NixOS?

So on my way to setting up #NixCon2025 😴

Well. That was pretty easy. Boot process secured and prettified with #limine #nixos

Nice interview with @… about :nixos: #nix and #NixOS (and #elixir, which I have no…

#NixOS 25.05 system update (approx. for 4 weeks) took 1h7min on my lenovo #x260 i5 (16GB RAM).
I have no idea why the performance is so poor on that machine in contrast to T490 with same NixOS configuration.
I'll see after I switched back to

Next #Nix and #NixOS #Heidelberg meetup on Friday, October 17 at the Institute for Computer Science (Mathematikon). Save the date! :blobcatnomcookie: :nixos:

Holy cow 😅 Iterating on :nixos: #nixOS SD card images surely adds up...

:nixos: #NixOS has made me like :bash: #bash. I use it so frequently with pkgs.writeShellApplication and have accepted to use its non-POSIX "advanced" features like (associative) arrays, the [[ ]] conditional syntax, the variable string mangling magic, etc. I absolutely love how writeShellApplicati…

Just a bit over a week until (my first) #NixCon :blobcatspace:

Right, if you update a remote :nixos: #NixOS machine via an #autossh tunnel (that received a minor change) and it gets stopped for the update, you got yourself a problem 😆
Luckily, there is restartIfChanged = false; 😌

Tfw you just want to roll out a minor configuration change to your #nixos setup but you’ve git pulled and your steam deck wants to rebuild Linux and mesa.

If you want to participate in the upcoming #NixOS steering committee election but haven't reached the required 25 commits mark in #nixpkgs yet, feel free to send some PRs to me for review. Also available for some 1:1 chats in Matrix or Discord to get any issues quickly sorted, so your PRs ca…

Okay why tf would it be that `nix profile install git ssh://myurl` always installs a version some commits behind? 😠 `nix profile ugprade` the same.
UPDATE: use --refresh.

Some realtalk and call for help (thread): for a bit over a year, I've been somewhat regularly organizing the domestic #NixOS and #RustLang meetups in #Mannheim and

Tried switching to #ghostty on both macOS and #NixOS. On macOS, it replaced iTerm2 for me and the transition was pretty smooth. Also worked fine with fish and starship ootb. Just the still persisting SSH issues (which are blamed on ghostty being too new for external applications to recognize it)…

Packaged another open source #nodejs application for #NixOS today. A few words of advice (or more of a plea) to my fellow #FOSS JS devs:
1. Don't try to modify your frontend assets at runti…

Wait, does #uv just make #Python work without #FHS shenanigans on :nixos: #NixOS? 🤨

Interesting post from tazjin, an experienced #nixos contributor, about trying #guix https://tazj.in/blog/trying-guix#fnref1 it didn’t particularly make me want to try guix, but it was an informative and fun read.
