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.

    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.

    Still haven't reached the flakes stage. An experimental feature that the maintainers are too afraid to treat as experimental and make breaking changes, but unwilling to name stable because it requires bug-fixes and changes that would be breaking, but too afraid to break because... reasons.

    Hey look, the trend is spreading: you're the second user I've seen doing that.

    It'd be nice if the Lemmy devs added some sort of metadata field to support that so that (a) we could have a preference to insert it into every new comment automatically, and (b) it could be reduced to a badge on the comment header or something so that it would be less obtrusive to those of us who aren't trying to do anything that would require us to pay attention to it.

    It's pretty easy for home-manager use, but still really useful. You can:

    • choose which packages to install from stable and which from unstable
    • add packages from repos that have flake.nix in them
    • correctly match nix and home-manager versions, and always update them at the same time
    • allow-unfree without nixpkgs conf, so 1 less directory required in .config (if they accepted the "experimental" features it'd be down to 1)

    Here's an example:

    flake.nix

    {
  description = "home flake";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
    home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    nixpkgs-stable.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11";

    # nixgl.url = "github:guibou/nixGL";
  };

  outputs =
    {
      self,
      nixpkgs,
      nixpkgs-stable,
      home-manager,
      # nixgl,
      ...
    }@inputs:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs = import nixpkgs {
        system = system;
        config = {
          allowUnfree = true;
        };
      };
      pkgsStable = import nixpkgs-stable {
        system = system;
        config = {
          allowUnfree = true;
        };
      };
    in
    {
      homeConfigurations = {
        shareni = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
          inherit pkgs;
          modules = [ ./home.nix ];
          extraSpecialArgs = {
            inherit inputs;
            inherit system;

            kmonad = pkgsStable.kmonad;
          };
        };
      };
    };
}

    The 'code' tag here does not respect newlines, I tried to fix it but this is the best I could do:

    `{ description = “home flake”;

     inputs = {     nixpkgs.url = “github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable”;

 home-manager.url = “github:nix-community/home-manager/master”;

 home-manager.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = “nixpkgs”;

 nixpkgs-stable.url = “github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.11”;

  # nixgl.url = “github:guibou/nixGL”;

    };

    outputs =     {

   self,

   nixpkgs,

   nixpkgs-stable,

   home-manager,

   # nixgl,

   …

 }

    @inputs:

     let

   system = “x86_64-linux”;

   pkgs = import nixpkgs {

     system = system;

     config = {

       allowUnfree = true;

     };

   };

   pkgsStable = import nixpkgs-stable {

     system = system;

     config = {

       allowUnfree = true;

     };

   };

 in     {

   homeConfigurations = {

     shareni = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {

       inherit pkgs;

       modules = [ ./home.nix ];

       extraSpecialArgs = {

         inherit inputs;

         inherit system;

          kmonad = pkgsStable.kmonad;

       };

     };

   };

 };

    }`

    It's working perfectly fine for me on desktop, jerboa, and voyager. Also, add a spoiler.

    The ‘code’ tag here does not respect newlines,

    Now there's a newline between every single line of code
