What is NixOS? Do i need to add that to a dual boot?

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

a linux distro with a cool package management system. somewhat popular but not as much as arch or ubuntu.

[–] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh dang. What's its package system like?

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

i cant say as i havent used it, but i think its supposed to be completely reproducable. i guess sort of like how the aur is basically the universal package repo for arch? the entire system can be configured in text files, so it would be great for installing the same os many times.

Basically you describe the entire system's configuration in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, including network, users, packages, dotfiles, etc. Then you run nixos-rebuild switch and boom, your computer is in that state.

Its too big to explain in a single comment. Go to its site nixos.org for more info

[–] odium@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Opacity at .1, transparency at .9

Dafuq? What's that for? Keeping a good view of your waifu wallpaper?

Visit !unixporn@lemmy.ml for answers. Also I might have used some hyperbole.

A casual scroll and search through the community didn’t really explain much. Unless the foreground (text) is opaque, I still don’t see the point. But yes, glassy themes can look cool if you choose the right settings.
