is there supposed to be a release-2.94 branch of https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module? Probably, but @raitobezarius:matrix.org want to reduce the module to main user only and encourage people to use lixPackageSets.latest.lix if I understood correctly. | 05:39:29 |

i do in fact have extra, i have two 2nd gen xeon scalable bare-metal servers that need a home Ooooh | 07:30:22 |
 K900 | Rip servers | 07:31:50 |
| raitobezarius | If you still have questions, you know where to ask me ;-) | 08:22:55 |
| raitobezarius | We should definitely update our wiki on the infra stuff, we have also https://docs.afnix.fr but that doesn't explain that much wrt to infra situation | 08:23:47 |

 Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | Does someone here have experience with OSINT? | 12:09:05 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | asking in the main room cause more people, sorry for that 😭 | 12:09:31 |
 522 it/its ⛯ΘΔ | at least move to https://matrix.to/#/!f7ANyFfiAJtbgM98Pk:katesiria.org?via=lix.systems&via=matrix.org&via=catgirl.cloud when answering | 12:51:40 |
| Sofie 🏳️⚧️ (she/her) | yeah ;3 | 13:01:47 |
 Blastboom Strice | Umm could we somehow add more questions to the FAQ? | 13:32:50 |
| Blastboom Strice | Im thinking of switching to lix, but it would be way more appealing if there were more info easily available to convince me (or not) to do the switch😅 | 13:33:43 |
| Blastboom Strice | (Also an index would be very helpful in that page) | 13:33:55 |
| K900 | Well if you have specific questions | 13:34:03 |
| Blastboom Strice | Yeah, I was spamming a person I know with questions a little before😆 | 13:35:03 |
| K900 | I feel like the requirement to adding something to the FAQ would be for it to be actually frequently asked | 13:35:27 |

 PeridotGemTech | Lix was a drop-in replacement when I switched. | 13:36:58 |
| K900 | There are technically some known incompatibilities now, but they're all around very strange eval quirks | 13:41:13 |
| K900 | That you're exceptionally unlikely to actually hit | 13:42:13 |
| K900 | Or rather, notice, because you are always hitting at least one of them (something something iceberg) | 13:42:27 |
 crop | isn't it possible to test a switch to lix by using lix in a nix-shell -p lix ... and then build ones nixos-config? | 13:42:41 |
| K900 | Possible | 13:42:58 |
| crop | i think this could be added to some docs for naive users of nix (similar to me) that want to see if the switch to lix is easy. | 13:45:08 |

- Apart from the (cooler/woker) community (which is obviously a plus), what are the differences with nix?
- what do I gain?
- (vague:) why would I switch to lix?
- what do I lose?
- do I get both nix and lix bugs by using lix?
- what stays the same?
- do I have to change anything apart from 2-5lines in my config to use lix?
- will the nixos commands (like update/nixos-rebuild etc.) still work?
- where do I file bugs? (In nixpkgs from what I learnt)
- who maintains the packages? (The same people as before I guess)
- Does lix have a lixpkgs repo like nixpkgs?
- do I still depend on nix/os in any way by using lix?
- if yes, in what way?
- what does it mean to add those packages in the advanced setup overlay?
