  • Just to clarify for everyone else:

    • Nixpkgs is the equivalent of a core distro repository for NixOS. Instead of Core + Extra + Multilib + AUR on Arch, we just have Nixpkgs that has everything
    • A Nix “module” is essentially an app with pre-packaged declarable options. So rather than just installing something as is, you can use its options to declare how you want it installed. I can get firefox, with a package definition for firefox-nightly, and also tell it which addons I want bundled, for example. 99% of the time, this is the preferred way to do things.
    • Home-Manager is a third-party Nix module, that lets you declare stuff in ~/. Very convenient for shells, browsers, and whatever else you want in there. Let’s say you want to have a specific shell, with a specific ssh signing key, and whatever prompt you like. The home-manager daemon would build it for you with a new system evaluation.
    • Stylix is another third-party Nix module. For supported things, it will style your apps with the preferences you’ve defined. Handy if you want a uniform look and feel for the things you use











  • I am tired of the boomer narrative of that it’s always those “young people” ruining everything. Oldest millennials are now in their mid-40’s. Or even worse, the youngest gen-z people are almost 18 now. These people have been paying their taxes for years on end now.

    The only terrified people in this scenario are the literal parasites who don’t pay anything, through loopholes and theft
