@linux-daddy:beeper.comLinux DADDYYeah, fair enough.14:56:50
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogei think it's still worth it to explain this in detail15:07:21
@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogeso people can at least avoid certain mistakes in the future15:07:48
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️It's better to study and research on how to tailor NixOS itself to your needs rather than using a downstream distribution of NixOS19:46:47
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ It'd be better if the GLF folks contributed to upstream NixOS rather than creating their own thing. 19:47:45
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Like making NixOS more accessible to a french speaking audience is objectively good, but maybe contribute to the NixOS wiki first or make a pamphlet rather than an entire distribution. 19:48:52
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️Also they have things like "doing this as a challenge"19:51:04
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️Not what you want to hear when you're trusting an operating system19:51:52

This isn't specific to NixOS either, Arch has the same issue where there are downstream distributions that are glorified installers (all of which got invalidated by archinstall when it became mature).

I mean don't get me started on "Manjaro"
