 hexa | Would it be appropriate to announce EOL of 21.05 on Twitter? | 17:43:15 |

 samueldr | I think given all of these, except the table, have a direct equivalent on the current site, it should be good; the table will be the "hard" part, but hard because it needs to be designed first | 06:50:26 |

Would it be appropriate to announce EOL of 21.05 on Twitter? I always forget who has Twitter access? Somebody knows? Except Rob | 07:51:54 |

I always forget who has Twitter access? Somebody knows? Except Rob I have access IIRC | 20:00:53 |
| niksnut | In fact everybody in the nixos-pass repo has access | 20:01:40 |

| samueldr | I assume lots of people don't know about the repo | 19:46:46 |

 davidak | FYI: There is now a graphical installer that is nearly complete, but the question came up if the onboarding experience would be still bad if there is no graphical configuration tool to proceed after installation. Do you have an opinion on that? https://discourse.nixos.org/t/why-is-there-no-installer-for-nixos/16644/27?u=davidak | 08:04:39 |

| jonringer | The better question is, do we want the crowd which would follow?
Remaining a fairly technical community has had it's shares of benefits. Easier to pivot, easier to get engagement, and easier to prune "energy vampires".
I love seeing nix adopted, but not all users are the same | 08:56:59 |
 afontain | Oh my | 11:29:14 |
| afontain | imagine becoming the next "I use Arch btw" | 11:29:34 |
| afontain | having to do some reading of the manual is definitely required. I don't think setting expectations that this isn't something really important is such a good idea | 11:31:33 |
| afontain | I think that if you want more upsides than downsides by using NixOS, you have to be technically inclined enough. Otherwise it's probaly not worth the complication | 11:34:20 |
| afontain | Maybe keeping the requirement of reading the manual and doing the installation yourself, and ideally reviewing the config file, is not a bad idea | 11:35:44 |

| putchar | hello people
i wanted to let you know that some links looks broken on the main nixos.org website | 21:49:55 |
| putchar | 
Download nixos.png | 21:50:23 |
| putchar | in my case this is the broken link i found https://nixos.org/guides/how-nix-works.html | 21:52:25 |
| jonringer | In reply to @putch4r:matrix.org
in my case this is the broken link i found https://nixos.org/guides/how-nix-works.html Thanks for letting us know, I created an issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/issues/784 | 22:39:43 |
| jonringer | IIRC, some of those are scraped from nix.dev, most likely that tutorial was moved | 22:40:04 |
| putchar | I made a tweet while I was banned about this issue. I can remove it now | 22:55:02 |
 f0x | banned? I only see a redaction | 22:56:19 |
| f0x | probably because the first message contained a link or smth | 22:56:32 |
| putchar | Yeah it's fixed now. I think I pasted + texted too fast in the chan | 22:57:17 |
