I use NixOS btw

OP, I think you gave theshatterstone54 an existential crisis…

1. My config is in a single github repo for all of my machines and my user.

2. It’s really tightly integrated and just works with the nix package manager, which has a huge repo and builds packages reproducibly, so theoretically what would work on my machine would also work on yours. Also, with nix you can run software without installing it, you can have multiple versions of the same library, and there are way more benefits just from this package manager that I can’t list here.

3. You can iteratively test your config, apply it on a live system and roll it back. You can also use git to roll back to an older version while keeping the actual source files.

4. There’s no dependency hell / leftover packages after uninstalling something - what you declare in your config is what is installed, and if an app has unspecified dependencies it won’t build. I guess this would also be a part of #2

And there are probably other benefits I can’t remember.

NixOS. After trying it, I could never go back to a “regular” distro.

If the person who posts on mastodon mentions a community on lemmy, their toot appears as a post in that community on lemmy. It happened on !thunder_app@lemmy.world

Or alexandrite

Well, I used to use reddit, but you know what happened with it… So I switched to lemmy.

The first account I made was ultra980@lemmy.ml (and same username on lemmy.one as a backup), but then I switched to kbin. Now, after kbin is glitching out more than ever, I switched back to lemmy, but now on .world.

I’ll also set up my own instance at some point, NixOS makes it possible with just a few lines in my config.

I’m a minor, so I can’t have a job in tech, but I am really tech-savvy (I use NixOS and like to tweak every system I have)

You could also try linux mint, ubuntu has been doing some sketchy stuff lately.

It’s like lemmy + mastodon - you can microbilor and boost posts and comments. But after using it for a while, I switched back to lemmy because:

• it has no API AFAICT the API is read-only, so there aren’t any apps (the dev is making one but I don’t think it’s finished and can’t compile it)
• it has some performance issues
• it doesn’t work sometimes
• the UI looks worse
• there are way less instances of it
• it’s written in php instead of rust

Congrats!

I have no idea what the beans thing us, but I’ve been on kbin instead of lemmy for quite some time so maybe I missed it.

Good luck! What distro are you trying?
