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.
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
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).
That’s so pretty!
Chicago95, a person of culture.
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!
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. :)
Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,…you’re all making me feel like a basic removed.
NixOS! 💪
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).
