IWhile you're mentioning it, I recently had the idea to give the user some kind of wizard to choose what they want. Like:
- Do you want nix for your existing system or as an OS?
- do you want to run it bare metal, VMed or in the cloud?
- Which desktop do you prefer...
Of course this would require a fallback, which could maybe realized by some subpage with content as seen now.
What do you (the whole channel) think?
that's only the download page right? If sounds good as long as it's realizable without client side javascript but with stable urls so you can link to some specific section. | 01:27:26 |

 avocadoom | Omitting client side JS in favot of full page reloads for everyone would result in a pretty clumsy UX, since the page would always have to reload for an input, but for sure this can be some kind of fallback mode | 01:29:31 |
| avocadoom | and yeah, of course the "results" would also be stored in their specific and distinguishable URLS | 01:30:02 |
| @janik0:matrix.org | That's still not really addressing the thing about not finding much about nixos as distribution on nixos.org, what is the general sentiment in the marketing team concerning that topic? | 01:41:01 |
| avocadoom | This was not meant as a solution for your first point :D | 01:42:06 |
| avocadoom | I don't know, we didn't talk about that as this is or was not on the table for the website at the moment. But as soon as we are done with switching stacks I think we can start talking about that | 01:43:05 |

| avocadoom | I'm loosing track on issues, can someone please review my homepage PRs so I can close related issues? That would be great :) | 15:43:10 |
 tomberek | I took a look and closed a few. 1265 will take more time. | 17:58:09 |

| @garbas:matrix.org | regarding the above link, everything that we merge to master (content wise) lets also merge it to main. | 21:10:30 |

Hey, currently nixos.org doesn't really show a lot about nixos as distribution and the new page doesn't either https://main--nixos-homepage.netlify.app/ so I wanted to chime in a bit:
If NixOS was more show cased on nixos.org I would have probably started using it ~1.5 years earlier. I remember taking a glance at nixos.org once and not finding the examples interesting, but I got hooked after someone told me about how they fiddled around with their config and then getting kernel panics. and just being able to boot a old generation and everything working again. I hear you! The current work on the website I just the first step. We'll finally be able to really work with the website and not lose too much time to do little changes.
Personally my goal is to bring NixOS on the website at least by next NixCon, well I hope sooner. If you would like to help out with this I'd really welcome you to join us on the marketing team calls.
