minus-squareCommunistlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·9 days agonext step is nixos! holy fuck transitioning from arch to nixos was hell, i did like 10 years of arch.
minus-squareitsjess@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoOr Gentoo? I haven’t used nixos yet so cant speak on it but Gentoo has been awesome to tinker and learn with.
minus-squareCommunistlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 days agoI think nixos is harder than gentoo, plus you can do all the gentoo compile from source stuff on nixos
minus-squareitsjess@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 days agoGenuinely curious cause i don’t know much nixos, does it support an equivalent to USE flags or slots?
minus-squareCommunistlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-28 days agoI don’t know much about gentoo, but use flags sound a lot like overlays to me, but like I said, i’m not familiar with gentoo. nixos allows the install of various versions of software by default so slots are definitely a thing. It’s one of the main things nix wanted to fix.
minus-squareitsjess@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoI ended up installing the nox package manager on my gentoo machine, and it’s been useful so far. Got some packages installed that aren’t in the native Gentoo repo
