> - NixOS / Guix are doing it right in my opinion
- beanjuiceII 3y agoNeither one is as accessible imo, fedora has long history of distro making and it shows
- ftxbro 3y agoi just thought it was funny that their opinion was in their facts section
- pxc 3y agohey, that that's their opinion is an indisputable fact!
- pkulak 3y agoNixOS has a desktop installer now. If they had an easy way to setup Flathub and turn on auto updates, it would be as user-friendly as Silverblue. I actually have several family members on it, since I can do that first post-install setup.
- iopq 3y agoFlathub is only okay with NixOS because a lot of flatpaks escape their sandbox and call out to outside programs. Sometimes you need to compile a NixOS version since the paths are not the same as a generic Linux distro. I've asked the developers to take a look at it, and one of them closed the issue, and the other is going to try to make it work with steam run Basically, nixpkgs is still the best way to run something on NixOS
- kaba0 3y agonixpkgs is still the best way to run something, period. Flatpak is an ugly hack that mixes together the completely unrelated tasks of packaging and sandboxing, while not being particularly good at any.
- ruuda 3y agoNixOS predates Fedora by a few months.
