tbh the fact the fromsoft game seems to be mostly focused on multiplayer makes me not too hyped

and yeah, a steamdeck is a solid investment

Looks more like a shitstorm to me

fyi, exa is unmaintained, although there is a maintained fork called eza (repo)

It’s gonna be awkward though if there is a merge conflict 👀

Me, looking at the 6 pixels i placed until i forget about the browser tab:

I did my part!

Where is “meetings that could have been an email”?

Basically yes

you could also go so far as to wipe your root partition (except for some selected dirs) on every boot, although I don’t do that myself: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence

I’d say it’s a pretty steep curve unfortunately, and nixOS is also not perfect, mind you

• The nix language (that is used for the configuration) itself has sometimes weird syntax. It’s also a proper functional programming languages with all bells ans whistles that brings
• The documentation is less than ideal (to put it mildley). Most of the times you need to search reddit (rip) and the forums to find how to do certain things.
• Nix is not FHS compliant. Basically everything is a symlink to some file in the nix store, located in /nix. Packages installed with nix are patched to work that way, but things not installed with it might not run out of the box

As for trying it out, yeah copying the config from the vm should work (except for maybe some hardware-specific stuff). remember to backup your stuff just in case lol

Your whole system is defined in a file called configuration.nix. This file describes everything about your system: all packages installed, which Desktop Environment / Window Manager to use, and also configuration for almost everything (e.g. zsh or neovim). When “switching” (which is basically installing/updating the system), Nix looks at the configuration and changes your system according to what you’ve declared in the configuration.nix, installing or uninstalling packages for instance.

So, the state of your system is “declared” in a single file, which can be tracked in git or backed up wherever. If you have mulitple systems, you can also share parts of your config between them, which makes configuring and customizing stuff a lot easier.

There are a lot of other aspects, but thats the basic gist of it
