Home manager and flakes is something optional in today’s NixOS. I don’t see any obvious use for a single-user home system. Of course, many people go the flakes-setup route. NixOS has many customization options, up to and including docker installation.

Oh, it’s very simple. Home-manager is something not yet finalized, optional and unofficial. Flakes was added in Nix 2.4, but you don’t have to use it all. You don’t want to add unnecessary complications. You can do without home-manager and flakes on a single-user machine. This is just one of the system configuration options. I have tried deploying the system with flakes/home-manager, done it with docker and even with nix-env. The performance gain is not noticeable.

This is the first time in 25 years of using Linux that I’ve changed distributions.

Have you heard anything about uBlock origin, Ghostery and similar programs?

… and Linux is not Unix. BSD and Solaris are, in my opinion, much better than any Linux. The problem is that BSD suffers from hardware incompatibility, and there are very few application programs for the current Solaris.

I can’t understand where you find so much porn.

Is this one of the endless hints that there is no karma in Lemmy? Have you seen the little up and down arrows under every post and comment? One of my comments recently got forty-five down arrows and I’ll see how many dislikes this comment gets.

The creators of Lemmy keep telling us about the “federation” of the social network. A federation is something that has a federal center that exercises a governing function.

Just because we all have not been informed of the existence of such a center does not mean that it does not exist.

What a vucking great social network this Lemmy is.

I clicked “subscribe” to your community or whatever the vuck it’s called and for two weeks I’ve been looking at “Pending”. Is this such a vucking fediverse achievement that I don’t understand?

Now for the topic at hand. If you have to choose between Arch and Manjaro, you have to choose Arch. 100% none of you will need to thoroughly partition your hard drive, because none of you will bother moving /home to another partition on the drive. And the main difficulty will be setting up the wifi, solved by reading the man pages. Unfortunately they are without pictures, so you will have to work hard.

Manjaro has compromised itself so many times that I don’t understand people who use it.

Although no, I do understand you, my little friends. Manjaro has a graphic installer.
