I'm curious.... can you describe why? From your own perspective, what makes you say that? ^^^ im slightly memeing but i did switch to nixos | 19:10:47 |
| Vanessa | one of my gfs recommended it to me a while ago and recently my arch linux system got borked after an update | 19:11:25 |
| Vanessa | decided to uninstall arch and install nixos | 19:11:57 |
| Vanessa | still currently setting up my nix configuration file | 19:12:15 |
| Vanessa | but damn i love it | 19:12:20 |
 tomberek | I know it's a hard answer to articulate. Why do you love it? How did you go from that initial motivation to the current glee? | 19:13:18 |

I know it's a hard answer to articulate. Why do you love it? How did you go from that initial motivation to the current glee? atomic distros have always interested me, i like having the stability of atomic updates, nixos has that which is nice, and the idea of portability that nixos provides is also nice
honestly the stuff i heard about it made me interested in it, i heard about how it has atomic updates and how its declarative and stuff, i think it's a really solid idea, and also the large package repository is also really nice | 19:16:45 |
| Vanessa | replacing web browsers in the config file was as easy as deleting the firefox line and adding ungoogled-chromiun | 19:17:28 |
| Vanessa | * replacing web browsers in the config file was as easy as deleting the firefox line and adding ungoogled-chromium | 19:17:35 |
| Vanessa | and reloading iy | 19:17:43 |
| Vanessa | * and reloading it | 19:17:50 |
| Vanessa | i still have a lot to learn i bet but honestly it looks really amazing so far | 19:18:06 |
| Vanessa | yall doing some solid work over here ill tell ya that | 19:18:44 |
| Vanessa | i also set it to nix unstable and plasma 6 cus i like rolling release and having the lastest software | 19:21:11 |
| Vanessa | that was pretty easy to do which is find fun | 19:21:49 |

 Jonas Chevalier | welcome to nix! :) | 19:31:43 |
| Jonas Chevalier | hope you can make yourself at home here | 19:32:10 |
| tomberek | Thanks. I want to communicate this sense of fun better. And to also describe the value in a clear way. | 19:40:24 |

| @dminca:matrix.org | hi, just started with Nix for 3 days already and fell in love with it.
Now I cannot sleep anymore 😆 | 07:57:06 |
| @dminca:matrix.org | this is my initial version, since I'm a newbie, the structure doesn't look that advanced but it's a good starting point
https://codeberg.org/dminca/nix-config
You think there's a way to make this more modular, for instance, I'd like to install the home-manager stuff from my flake.nix.
I got the recommendation that I should add it to my imports ( in flake.nix) and then create a module where I do the stuff.
