NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^
The axis don’t make sense.
The original comic was about the learning curve of various games. The black line represents Dwarf Fortress
The original comic was very accurate
You didn’t even care to relabel the axes, I don’t trust you.
Yeah right now this graph says that on other OSs, your gaming skill steadily improves as you play.
But by the time you’ve learned and set up NixOS, your gaming skills will be crazy powerful but you’ve plateued.
…I guessssss it could make sense? XD
It was about dwarf fortress, i refuse to belive otherwise
When I first started my job, a coworker set me up with a machine running NixOS. I gave it a year before I binned it for Ubuntu. I just… didn’t see the point? The troubleshooting wasted so much of my time for seemingly no benefit.
The config file for managing basically the whole OS is amazing to begin with. Also the fact that the system is freshly rebuilt every update is neat too. And there is something where if a certain package requires a certain version of a library it will be installed alongside the current version just incase. Avoiding dependency hell.
About troubleshooting, the official wiki for nixos got made this year so it finally will start to make sense to new users. I used to use arch because of their amazing wiki but now I use nixos since there is an active effort to make it easier.
I’ve been using NixOS for about 3 years. Probably going to switch back to Arch, though.
Was the original a joke about MMO learning curves with the top line being Path of Exile?
Well i do need to do a quick ol distro hop cos currently on manjaro and well im not particularly happy with it. I like debian headless on mer server so might jump to sonthing based on that, this graph isnt making nix look like a good choice tho pls enlighten me to the benefits
Just get endevour for a good arch experience without the hassle.
I don’t think I will ever feel comfortable learning NixOS since they accepted a sponsorship from Anduril until there was community backlash. Anduril performs violent border survailence for the US government and are responsible for a huge amount of death and suffering.
I don’t like Anduril either, but what’s wrong with taking their money and using it for good purpose?
I’m with you in some cases. Who you take money from is not the same as who you give money or support to, necessarily. I think the worry in this case is that it’s a surveillance company.
NixOS documentation refusing to generate pages like readthedocs can drive a man insane…
