I haven’t looked at the fedora logo in so long I legitimately thought Facebook had released a Linux distro…
…the curve on the bottom of that f is doing a lot of work to try and make that logo different.
Also after years of being McMahon I have evolved into an Asian Punk Hacker it seems… No idea what I was before McMahon, Manjaro and Slackware are not on the list. And I use Debian for servers.
Who is the dude in all the user-friendly distros? Kind of looks like Tom Cruise’s stunt man.
Thanks for the assist. I was pretty close. Yeah, I guess my Zorin arse is Ben Stiller.
The only time I can identify myself as a chad, nice
Void on laptop, alpine on homeserver. Yep, checks out.
Love how the indian guy sitting meme perfectly sums up how I feel about alpine, nixos, and freebsd, even though those are completely different projects with different directions and goals. “It’s boring and it just works”.
Indian guy sitting? That’s Pablo Escobar!
TIL, thanks!
Lol it’s from Narcos. Great show if you haven’t seen it.
NixOS “is boring and iust works” until you want to do something fancy a module author didn’t anticipate and suddenly you find yourself defining functions that use
genAttrs
on some lists imported from JSON filesThis (and systemd bugs) is the main reason I moved away from nixos on my homeserver. Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge
docker-compose.yml
for everything that I want to run. Would still recommend nixos for things that don’t require a lot of tweaking. Like if I had to set up a simple website for a small business or something. I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on inconfiguration.nix
.I haven’t encountered systemd bugs in NixOS yet. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist - but I can’t confirm the issue.
I run everything on NixOS nowadays and I do think that all of this makes sense, whether the implementation is the best I can’t judge.
Just wanted to make sure my statement wasn’t a criticism on NixOS, the maintainers do a great job. It’s rather taking a jab at the “boring” statement.
Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge
docker-compose.yml
for everything that I want to run.Docker compose is imperative though ;) (if that actually matters is up for debate) - fun fact nix allows you to build containers very easily.
I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on in
configuration.nix
.How well this all goes together is really one of the strongest points of nix and NixOS. Though just for manageability, I personally wouldn’t put this into
configuration.nix
, but rather into a file dedicated to the respective service.
Centos 7.3 in an oracle virtual box on windows 10, but I definitely feel like the “hello, how are you fellow kids?” guy. There is not even a RedHat in the graphic for me to pretend is me.
Windows 10 on my PC, Android on my phone, Slackware on my home server.
How do you do fellow kids?
Not even ashamed, I feel the age and I will misuse slang just to watch the young people cringe.
Stay rizzy my skibidi sigmas
You have used the slang correctly
Damn it
Check out the rizzler on the gyatt over here
When the slang is so
shitmulti-functional that you can’t use it wrong.
Look, all I want is for my shit to work and work every time. I drive a car from the 90s. I go out of my way to buy handheld electronics that take standard cell batteries. I’m writing this while shitting in a toilet made in 1972. I don’t mind things being a little out of date as long as they just work.
Anyway, guess my distro.
Debian.
Sounds like a Slackware user to me.
I feel mildly insulted. I use arch btw.
Memes demonstrating that Neolithic communication is superior, as written language is abandoned for pictographs on digital walls.
We use nixos not because its perfect but because its the best there is(if you want immutability(and you still want access to conventional feeling updates))
Windows, M’Fedora, PopOS and NixOS rn
I used to be How Do You Do Fellow Kids, but then I accepted who I really was and settled into Hide The Pain Harold.
I am superficial. I care for the interface, instead of the core…aka KDE and Windows.
“Care about the interface” and “Windows” are oxymorons in my book (also hate KDE but haven’t been on desktop Linux in ages).
