Good times for NixOS
- _ea1k 3y agoI really need to dedicate some time to studying that. It sounds like a really solid way to host containers. Compared to the mess that is ansible+ubuntu, it must be an improvement.
- pkulak 3y agoI'm in the middle of switching now, from Silverblue. It's a lot of fun. The Arch wiki to do something will have you changing three files and restarting 2 services, while with NixOS you add a line to your config and you're done. And when something doesn't exist as a Nix package/config, it seems somewhat easy to build your self (compared to other package managers, at least). I realized there's no "game-devices" package last night, for example, but I was able to get this working in about an hour of Googling: https://github.com/pkulak/dotfiles/blob/nix/nix/gamedevices.nix https://github.com/pkulak/dotfiles/blob/nix/nix/gamedevices.... Still not all the way in. Like, I'm still going to use Chezmoi for my home directory because I don't quite see the value-add of Home Manager, but who knows; maybe I'll be a super fan next year and move everything over.
