You still can create a chroot using bash script, it's nothing new and you can do it in any system including NixOS. I find something like this[1] far more usefu

I find something like this[1] far more useful, because it actually has some applications.

- pknopf 7y agoThat is a complicated way to achieve the same thing Darch does. I'd prefer to not learn a new DSL. Packages and products are more widely supported on Ubuntu/Debian. In the end, I just want to work and play, not learn a new DSL, while having everything in the article you shared.
- takeda 7y agoThis is not the same thing darch does, what darch does can be done by chroot, namespaces etc and is not that complicated.
- pknopf 7y agoOf course, the tech is different. I meant the end-goal being achieved is the same. > what darch does can be done by chroot, namespaces etc and is not that complicated. Exactly my point.
- RaitoBezarius 7y agoNo, it's really not the same thing. You have a very weak reproducibility which relies on Docker's implementation details and a lot of impurities. In contrary, NixOS has very fine-grained reproducibility (and is not perfect of course) but get us very far [1] [1]: https://r13y.com/ https://r13y.com/
- pknopf 7y agoIt's close enough for desktop purposes, especially for people not willing to make the plunge into a new world with its own DSL. You don't really hear people complain about the reproducibility of "docker pull ubuntu:bionic".
