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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Hm, I want to pull the trigger on nixos

    [โ€“] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 5 points 4 months ago

    If you're not using a standard DE (Gnome, KDE,...) but rather something like i3, Hyprland,... then I highly recommend starting with home-manager on whatever distro you're currently on. Once you're happy with that setup, it's really easy to add the "rest of the system" without risking a giant headache because your desktop still needs to be configured

    I'd be willing to help you get started.

    Isn't the --remote-host missing here? (Since you're using --remote-sudo?)
