really scary how it just hard-freezed or mercilessly thrashes when low on memory.

That’s what the swap partition is for?

There’s something called a “stock image” and “editing tux onto the stock image”

…or at least add alternative text.

Why is it a transparent image, it’s hard to see specially in dark mode.

Now the formatting is fixed

• Food item: Nix Flakes (rare)

  • +10 health per flake

  • + Contains a large amount of packages when combined with Nixpkgs (uncommon)

  • + Reproducible: farm it yourself!

  • - Each flake takes between 5 seconds and 2 hours to compile and take effect

  • - Requires good internet connection

  • - Significantly slows down NixOS dotfile spells.

• Weapon: Neovim Lua Gun (uncommon)

  • +144 damage

  • + Rewrite config files

  • - Can only activate weapon once. Afterwards, you’re stuck using it forever.

  • - Requires XP level 1337 to be used efficiently

• Weapon: NixOS USB (uncommon)

  • + Makes computer unusable for any sane person

  • + Reproducible: install any system you want and then replace it with another one for fun

  • - Most people in Linuxia are not sane so this weapon is rarely effective

• Spell: NixOS dotfiles (rare)

  • rm -rf ./.git: self-destruct: deals +infinity damage to the user, +169 damage to nearby enemies.

  • cat flake.nix: Ejects what is effectively a zip bomb. Cannot be used twice against the same enemy. Deals +196 damage to nearby enemies.

  • nixos-rebuild ...: Refreshes stamina, +5 health to the user. If used incorrectly, will cause a random negative effect, but never fatal. Requires waiting for 15 seconds, unless Nix Flakes were recently used, then it requires at least 2 hours of waiting.

• Armor: SDDM (common)

  • +40 charisma

  • +20 defense

  • +10 health

  • - Buggy sometimes

• Accessory: Waybar Crown (uncommon)

  • +120 charisma

  • +5 health

  • + People will ask you for your dotfiles

Edit: fixed formatting

Edit 2: slightly cooler names and abilities

roblox (i miss it only a bit)

I use NixOS for my desktop because I hate myself you can configure everything without needing to edit a bunch of different config files that use different configuration languages.

I use Arch btw for my Minecraft server because I am crazy.

I think there’s a clear answer as to why

Here’s my distrohopping journey (including non-Linux OS)

• Windows 7 →

• Windows 10 →

Mid 2021, I tried Fedora Linux in a VM and was unable to install it, but I liked it regardless.

So, a while later I decided to try this “Linux” thing on my computer.

• Linux Mint (late 2021) →

• Arco Linux (arch felt too intimidating) →

• Debian (stability = good?) →

• Debian Sid (stability = boring) →

• Artix Linux OpenRC (omg i hate systemd so much!1!!) →

• Void Linux →

• Artix Linux runit (it didn’t work) →

• Arch Linux (how do i use systemctl wtf) →

• Void Linux again (ah, ln -s /etc/sv/something /run/service/)→

• NixOS unstable (since January 2024)

Honestly, I’m just glad I found something I liked, as NixOS is perfect for tinkering.

During all that distrohopping, I “DE-hopped” even more. Currently I run SwayFX, but I’ve used Cinnamon, XFCE, Plasma, GNOME, AwesomeWM, i3, bspwm, dwm, swaywm and Hyprland.

edit 1: add Artix Linux runit

edit 2: remove NixOS stable from the list

I though only GNOME cared about having client-side decorations? Probably why any GNOME app I have has an annoying toolbar when I’m using a tiling window manager.

how is that fragmentation it’d be a front-end not a whole new software
