OpenZFS is the zfs now. There is no difference.

Maybe https://github.com/aksiksi/compose2nix will help you out!

As it stands now, I don’t think nix wants “regular users”; rather it wants user/contributors.

adding private features is lame… so they’re distribution of nix has two daemons running? also lame. Very lame on the whole, great job!

Its not the “Linux OS” that we want, but it is Linux, it runs the Linux kernel, so does chromeOS.

Be cleat about what you want.

What you call “Linux OS” is actually GNU/Linux, or as I’ve taken to calling it lately, GNU + Linux.

That’s what android is ;)

nix-env should be avoided, it is bad. I wish it were not in the docs so much. If you need a package for a short time, use nix-shell or nix shell.

Glad you got it working tho.

Does the flatpak stuff show up in your path? Wha’ts yhour nix code for flatpaks looks like?

Did you restart?

well then life just substantially improved for you.

Why are you not using the options search at https://search.nixos.org ? Or an LSP that shows you options in your editor.

ah sorry, I misunderstood the question.

Replaces the Archwiki with basically 0 docs

Arch wiki is still relevant, I still use it as a reference on my NixOS box.

a large chunk of your Linux knowledge no longer applies

Your pacman and pacur (or whatever the name of the air helper soup de jour is this week) will no longer apply. Most of my linux knowledge was still applicable. You have all the same programs that run in the same way as they do on arch.

you can’t compile from source

Sure you can. Want to compile everything from source? Just turn off using the cache. NixOS is a source based distro.

everything is different

Also no. I use the same programs I can get on most other distros.

the nix language kinda sucks until you “get” it, etc.

If you have ever used another functional language its fine.

After nix there is only sadness

It is better in all the ways. Newer packages, no imperative config, reproducible.

nVidia drivers on NixOS are easier and more pain free that on any other distro I’ve used.

Good now wipe it and install NixOS. You’re ready.

Yes it’s ```` boot.kernelParams = [ “snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1” ];

NixOS ships a very minimal kernel and relies on you to declare what modules you want to load (or sometimes relies on nixos-generate-hardware to find some of those modules), so even if it is really standard hardware that “just works” on other distros, you still may need to dig out some kernel modules and explicitly load them.

But if CachyOS works for you and makes you comfortable, that is good and you should use it.

However “it worked on other distro X, thus is should work on other distro Y” probably isn’t a helpful way of thinking to get things working.
