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.

    I really like most of it and started to daily drive NixOS a few months ago, but there's still some very valid criticisms to be made. Lack of documentation is probably the biggest one

    [–] affiliate@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    i would like to give it another try at some point because it seems like it will probably feel really nice to use once i get the hang of it. but the lack of documentation is pretty rough.

    i also think that for nixos, a lack of documentation is a much more difficult thing to overcome. other distros can piggyback off the arch documentation for most things, but that doesn’t work as well for nixos.

    [–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

    that's certainly true. I'd like to help improve the documentation, but unfortunately I'm still pretty green at Nix myself, so there's not much I can do at the moment. But it seems to be picking up speed recently, so there's hope that with more people better documentation is coming soon
