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 members of the community for any reason.
- 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.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Only to drop them all in favor of nixos. However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix
That's my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn't had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was... something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.
Well documentation is still not great. But I can deal with it.
The first step is to really understand how nix works and how nix-shell -p works.
Then probably know that autoPatchelfHook exists
And sth. You have to watch out for if you install sth. With a daemon or a service you need to enable it additionally to the installation.
So for example for open-iscsi you need to enable the service.open-iscsi = enable so it can work.
Flakes are still a nogo for me. I don't understand them and I don't want to deal with them until I get the rest into my head.
