Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

We already have NixOS, why anything else?

(Guix is cool too).

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A good wiki for it?

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/NixOS_Wiki

Still lacking a bit of information about specific stuff.

https://nixos.wiki/

Unofficial should have the same information, but sometimes there is a discrepancy.

https://search.nixos.org/options

For any option you might need the name of.

https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html

For basically anything else where you just have the implementation documentation

Gentoo with an external build server. (for storage ir performanceconstrained systems)

Does it use Systemd? If so, then we need something else.

Derive something from PCLinuxOS please, but with actual anaconda kick-starts.

[–] tux7350@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Doesn't have too! You can just use nix as a package manager and install it to whatever distro you choose 😉

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The services it installs are systemd, though
