…NixOS is the new Arch Linux. Change my mind.
Hardly, NixOS documentation is trash. The Arch Wiki is essentially the platonic ideal of documentation.

Maybe you should learn to read the manual or debug your system without hand holding 😉
The difference is I can upgrade my NixOS without breaking everything hahaha. But it has gotten a lot more popular recently, which I think is your analogy? Or because people always bring it up now lol
yea i think its the popularity spike. if only there were more docs on flakes though.
If only wiki was as good as Arch’s…
exactly. cant blame them tho, its unofficial.
I agree, altough I’m trying to use them here and there, i’m still very confused by it.
i actually managed to somewhat break it. But a rollback just immediately fixed it again.
It doesn’t have a wiki as good as Arch, yet
Nah, NixOS has a very deserved air of superiority. Arch just fakes its one.

😂 a freudian slip
Why do you include the CC link in all of your comments…?
It’s a phase
Proprietary LLMs (it’s non-commercial license)
I gotta say and it feels weird to but I’m happy Arch are spending a bit longer testing these days. When I used to run it updates just felt rushed into the repo so Arch got it first.
Getting plasma 6 a week after it drops is still “bleeding edge” when the alternative is a couple months
I too like strong hits of copium
Couldn’t Arch users just install it through the Nix Package manager?
And set up all the systemd services themselves? Sure. Have at it.
You people
Yes, we the people! Rise up, comrad!
In Russia people rise into you!
Seriously though I can always spot your comments from the link you always include.
Sassy Black Woman: What do you mean “You people”?
Can’t you just build from source of you want it? Like kde has pretty good docs for this.
It was also already in Arch’s KDE-unstable repo. I’ve been using Plasma 6 for like 3 months.
Compiling source code tends to get messy when you decide to remove it from your system. Also, you’ll have to manually update it, any package manager will be unaware of it and can’t do anything with it anyway. You’ll also be responsible for dealing with conflicts with other software or dependency issues. That’s why we have repos. Someone else did all that work already.

Of course, but that doesn’t add it to the package repo.

@onlinepersona@programming.dev not really about this post, but i see that you have a license link in all your comments. Just curious, do you copy-paste that every time or do you have some automated setup?
I do copy paste it. KDE has a tool called
klipper
that allows to have a clipboard history, so hitting Super+V brings up a dropdown and I can select it. The effort is therefore minimal.Consider using the KDE keyboard shortcut tools to set up a permanent paste keybind instead of using the history.
For example, I have a keybind that sends a known mouse movement input, which I use to set that known mouse input to always correspond to ten centimeters of on-screen movement.
Using a keybind would remove the need to ever select the right item from the history, and reduce the clutter in it for copy-pasting other things.
Oh hey, I thanks for the hint. I hadn’t thought of that!
Looks like there was a bug in KDE5 (KDE6 is on another PC) and I had to follow instructions on this stackoverflow.
