| @richc:corbet.ch | I am sorry to interrupt. Hi guys and girls =)
Can I ask you about some indication what nix package manager is the best for getting up to speed quickly on a non NixOS distribution? (Specifically CachyOS, Arch based). Can you go wrong with the standard pacman package or should you choose differently? If I want to be flaky, do I belong in the Determinate Systems corner (Gemini is convinced I need this one) ... and on github I saw there is a legacy installer and a modern one which however seems to be a fork of the Determinate Systems one ... Well, does that mean it has all the features that determinate system advertises and DS is now obsolete?
I am sorry, I admit I am a noob here, but I want to learn and not make a beginners mistake at the ... beginning. | 06:53:49 |
 K900 | The standard Arch package is fine | 06:54:44 |
| K900 | Also you probably want #Nix / NixOS for user support | 06:54:57 |
| @richc:corbet.ch | Heading over there in a sec. Thanks @K900 for the quick answer. | 06:56:34 |
