 @linus:schreibt.jetzt | we should make the nixos initramfs builder build initramfses for other distros too | 23:42:27 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | then have all the other distros use that | 23:42:36 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | :D | 23:42:37 |
 @lily:lily.flowers | Honestly, it would definitely improve the situation for some initramfs's | 23:42:53 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | My earliest attempts at systemd initrd included using mkinitcpio and dracut and it was Not Very Fun (TM) | 23:42:55 |

My earliest attempts at systemd initrd included using mkinitcpio and dracut and it was Not Very Fun (TM) Yeah what we've got going (once all of the unit ordering issues are ironed out...) seems much better and easier to follow. Also probably faster since it doesn't have the extra stuff that dracut has | 23:43:38 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | (As the person who maintains the dracut derivation in nixpkgs, I can confirm we should 100% not use it to generate our initramfs unless we want to have a terrible time) | 23:44:37 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | (I only wanted it for lsinitrd anyways) | 23:44:49 |
