I think a good step towards the school would be forcing bootloader unlocking to be available. Just like any other computer allow people root access to their own devices. This opens up the ability to install any operating system A user desires.
Not worth it. You will end up playing the h support when something goes wrong.
Can someone please point me to a repo with a nix configuration for a desktop setup with a minimum of KDE? Bonus points for it being more like Fedora.
Came to say this.
Humm good points in the articles. I think my goal of building docker hosts makes more sense. It is interesting how the took the declarative concepts of something like terraform and kubernetes and built it into an OS. It’s kind of like fedora silverblue but the two took different approaches. Perhaps fedora makes more sense on a desktop. I have a dev and DevOps background and like the idea of being able to more deeply learn Linux without having to rebuild my system from scratch when I bust it.
Can you explain home manager? What about things to consider when installing NIX package manager on another distro?
Perhaps figuring out how to get the wallpaper out of a nix distrobox would be a good learning experience.
This looks like a whole project. What is the overall goal of this build?
I am very new to nixOS and am interested in it. Specifically for ansible scripts to build out easily replicateable docker hosts for lab. I have also considered it for switching my primary desktop and laptops as being able to have the same OS with everything the way I like it is also intriguing.
Sorry for theate response. P.S. I love your wallpaper.
This is a very interesting setup would you mind providing more explanation / documentation? Also would you mind sharing your nixOS config? I would love to try it.
This is a good explanation.
Search how not hard. DNS to pick a provider you trust.
I think why Lennox seems so unapproachable by so many it’s because there’s so many distros and choices people get choice paralysis. And then as soon as they ask anyone about it they get 20,000 different results. Lol
Something about boiling a frog
Thanks . I think that is helpful. I think I will start in a vm first. Looks like dual boot is broken.
I’ve been daily driving Fedora KDE as well I was interested in trying kinoite also but have not yet. Is it worth it?
Signal shot it’s self in the foot removing sms capabilities. Tragic.
Is that your unbiased opinion about opinions?
My advice, pick a base distribution, and build what you want. Mostly when picking different distros all you are really picking is a package manager, default applications, and a desktop.
If you want to advance in your Linux knowledge building your own will help you quite a bit in learning how it works at the core and what peices are needed to run a system. Then when something breaks you have the understanding to fix or at least properly ask for help. I would especially say this is true if you are looking to switch to arch as your base distribution.
I would only recommend Manjaro to a new person trying to dip their toes into arch but not for their daily driver.
I know. Lol not actually a /s sadly.
