    i nuked my nixos install twice to install guix and twice I went back to my nix setup. GuixSD is missing a certain polish to it. It feels like it’s on the way there but probably not yet…

    the second time was just last week, after setup on sway, I installed flatpak apps and tried setting up nix-env for packages, some XDG_DATA_DIR fucked up and I couldn’t even see the installed packages or start them from a terminal

    servers are also slow and rebuilding is a fucking pain









  • Xubuntu in a vm on win10, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, OpenSuse Tumbleweed with Kde, and now Nix.

    I used Fedora the longest and OpenSuse the shortest as Kde reminded me so much of horrible windows. I’ve also tried a lot of other distros in a vm or live usb, Linux Mint, Mubuntu, Void linux, the one without any Gnu component(Artix?) and some other ones. I also have ISOs of some other esoteric Oses on my computer, DebianHurd, Redox, can’t even remember rn but I’m yet to try them out.

    I’m mentally restraining myself from distrohopping to Guix and or FreeBSD as I doubt I’d have the same workflow I have now on NixOS. To have distrohopped this much in the space of 18 months is why I’m a failed Javascript programmer.
