Who needs distro hopping when you can instead hop between #NixOS modules. :nixos: :blobcatnomcookie:

Adventures in #NixOS rabbit hole continue
- Wanted to run GNOME 46
- Didn't want to build the world locally
- Bought a beefy x86 server and made it build staging-next branch
- Spun up Attic (https://docs.attic.rs/

Crap, I just read up on what NixOS is and I actually really like it on paper.
Now I might try it out, but I won't change all my computers to it in the following months (lying).
#Linux #NixOS

Man, the longer I have :nixos: #NixOS and :manjaro: #Manjaro running in parallel, the more annoyed I am by the :archlinux: #ArchLinux way, e.g.:
· Python update ⇒ all python-based

Updated my bio to reflect my switch from #openSUSE #Tumbleweed to #NixOS
I still love openSUSE, but effortless migration/reinstallation was a big interest for me and I’ve been looking into NixOS for a while due to that.
This week I was finally able to overcome my anger and will to give up and installed it on my main machine after configuring for a little while on a vm. It was really stressful, specially due to the fact that #Nix documentation is awful in most cases or often straight up nonexistent , but as of today I have a working and usable desktop again. There’s still tweaking to be done, and also new stuff to do taking advantage of nix features, but the main part is now done
Note that I love openSUSE dearly, and shall they ever make a declarative distribution nix-like (preferably nix-compatible) there’s great probability that I’d migrate to it if it was good and had the features I needed (I don’t think that’s impossible, since they do like making new or experimental distros)

Currently trying to install :nixos: #NixOS on a :raspberrypi: #RaspberryPi Zero. The poor thing with its 500MB RAM has a hard time during nixos-rebuild... 🥵

I personally am happy about the #NixOS board statement. I went to our last @… meetup two days ago with quite a bit of uncertainty of what to say, wanting to sound hopeful for this technology that I advocate for by organizing this meetup. Instead I only laid out t…

NixOS Foundation board: Giving power to the community
One concern I have is if any solutions to this issue will be used to shut down disagreement with the new power structure that gets put in place. The concept of bad-faith engagement, while valid, ultimately depends on assessing the internal mental state of the other person, what their intentions are, and disagreements make assuming pure hostility much more likely.

Can someone help me figuring out why I can't fetch the git sources for (my fork of) #solvespace on :nixos: #NixOS?

Can't build SolveSpace from scratch: fetching git source fails
I wouldn’t read too much into my old PR, I can’t remember what issue I was facing and I suspect nix-prefetch-git has moved on since then. One possible (inefficient) workaround might be to pass deepClone = true; in your fetchFromGitHub. I seem to be able to build your branch with the deepClone change and updated hash. I haven’t verified, but it looks like it could have worked before this change last year: fetchgit: shallow clone for submodules by pineapplehunter · Pull Request #254172 ·…

New #neofetch!

Is there any good tutorial on how to set up and configure #Thunderbird in #NixOS? I mean, I could just import my old Thunderbird profile, but isn't NixOS about declaring ALL the things?^^

The only reason I haven't tried NixOS is because I'll like it and stop using Arch, preventing me from being able to say "btw i use arch"

Nice, I managed to package this little utility 'highlight-pointer' for :nixos: #NixOS, which is very helpful during screencasts.
It was very easy to do having already made an :archlinux: #ArchLinux PKGBUILD.

#nixos #nix users, a little question for you. im not smart enough to set up vscode to write c# dotnet in nixos properly (without flatpaks linking libs into flatpak's fs at least). so, i want to setup some "normal" distro inside nixos to install development stuff, like dotnet, rust, v…

Upgraded three machines to :nixos: #NixOS 24.05 today. Overall quick and painless, besides figuring out the breaking config changes in #Grafana Loki 3.0.

Hello, #NixOS and #Nix pros!
Could you help me please?
Why does my nixos-rebuild switch fail? It fails on the very end, after all the building and evaluating is done, when starting suid-sgid-wrappers.service.
HOWEVER, here’s the weird part: build-vm works!! The vm boots and everything! If the vm works, why does switch fail?
Any tips?
My config (alongside with a file showing the error) is available here: https://github.com/LuNeder/nixos-config
Edit: an important note is that if I comment the uutils part out the rebuild works, but I want to keep uutils!
Edit2: Those are bugs on uutils! Btw: folks on uutils discord are awesome and super cool they helped me a lot in troubleshooting this and were able to reproduce it!

I think I have finally™️ (for the third or so time) found myself a solution for :python: #Python development on :nixos: #NixOS that allows me to just work with #pythonPoetry et. al. as on other distros.

Could anyone on #NixOS with #XFCE (or something else known to work with compiz) please test this and tell me if you also get a black screen when doing compiz --replace or if it’s just VirtualBox’s fault?

What in the actual heck is going on with chrooting into a mounted :raspberrypi: #RaspberryPiOS SD card rootfs on :nixos: #NixOS?
SOLVED: One also needs to bind-mount /nix in the target system:

Anyone got a #Nix config for a #musl NixOS container I could use, please?
I see many people mentioning Musl #NixOS containers, but examples of this are nowhere to be found!

What option do I need to add to my #Nix #NixOS config in order for it be impure by default? I don’t want to have to write “--impure” every single time I rebuild.

Anyone got any luck with #ALVR on #NixOS?

It’s really cool that with #NixOS everyone knows what I installed on my system
Anyone can go to my github and know what I’ve installed and when

Can one pre-build a buildFHSUserEnv in configuration.nix and then have a command like 'fhs' that yanks you into a shell with all your environment.systemPackages in an FHS layout?
All my tries have given me either infinite recursion errors or other problems.
Seems like a way out of the #Python development misery on
