Honestly I didn’t use it for very long, and while I liked the customization, I didn’t like the Plasma apps as much as Linux Mint’s apps.
It would have been nice to know about that, I already heard about it before but only after I’d switched to Void anyway. Maybe one day if I try NixOS again I will use it.

I mean like
apt searchorpacman -SsNixOS also doesn’t show what packages were updated after an update, and doesn’t show which version they changed to, which is slightly annoying.

The answer is simple: when I used Debian, I was just starting out with Linux and didn’t mess with systemctl at all. It was an ok beginner experience (I’d already used Mint before trying Debian, so I was at more of an intermediate level) but I probably wouldn’t like it as much nowadays.
I like the idea of using different software for different things, why do systemd timers exist when there’s already crontab, for example?
Meanwhile, I mostly used Arch on my server where I had to deal with all the systemd stuff, which was rarely useful for my purposes.
I can handle it but I wanted a more traditional package manager so I could search the repos from the command line without relying on external tools, so I went back to Void Linux after a year and a half of using NixOS. Also, I tried a lot of those before even knowing about NixOS.
You can’t just say “perchance”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who's country's national language is **NOT** English, how fluent is your English compared to your country's language?
5·3 days agoLike nearly as fluent except when I get lazy and stop thinking of “fancy” words to write. English has a lot of fancy words: vocabulary synonymous to other elements of the lexicon. I don’t know those types of words in Portuguese lol.
I can understand movies fine but prefer captions regardless of the language being spoken unless I am in a very quiet room.
I’m brazilian and my family thinks I am really smart for knowing another language but really I just watched YouTube when i was a kid so uh yeah I’m not sure how fluent I actually am since I’ve only met other second language speakers.
I “tried” installing gentoo once but i didn’t know what a tarball was at the time so i can’t really rate it. the documentation did help me a lot with OpenRC on artix though.
i did hear nixOS is also source-based in a way, but i’m not sure on the details.
I was curious

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•I Am starting to actually get somewhat comfortable using emacsEnglish
8·5 days agoI used to use Neovim until I got tired of it and switched to Helix. I tried Emacs for a bit but turns out that Helix does everything I need it to do without any extra configuration.
And of course I use
caps:swapescapebecause I am not reaching all the way to the Escape key all the time.

9·7 days agoperhaps i too will post code on the internet
here is a shell script i wrote for automating filenames for markdown files (blog posts):
code
#!/bin/sh set -e datecmd="date +%Y-%m-%d" if [ -z "$1" ]; then printf "Post title: " >&2 read -r title else title="$1" fi file="$($datecmd)_$title.md" if [ -f "$file" ]; then printf "Error: post '$file' already exists.\n" >&2 exit 1 fi ${EDITOR:-nano} "$file"im not sure why i made it since i could just look at what date it is and write it down manually in the file name, but i felt like doing that as a quick hack












If that is Mandarin im pretry sure Mr. Gregory “Doctor” House understands it
