Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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. 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 fork-bomb your computer.

    With gentoo and arch you are learning how linux works. Replace nixos with salt or ansible and it can even get you a job.

    NixOS is still a Linux system, and the configuration still translates to stuff you have in a very similar way on every other Linux system too (with the exception of what's needed for the file system layout to work). It's not some kind of magic. I've probably learned as much stuff applicable to general Linux distributions as while using Arch and Gentoo.

    Of course, if you only use the high-level options and the graphical installer that may be different, but then comparing it to those distros is very disingenuous.

    How many jobs opportunities ask for experience with nixos?

    [–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

    I know of companies like Serokell that specialize in it, and I know that some others use it internally for CI. Generally if you want a Nix job you'll have to specifically look for that I think
