NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^
When I first started my job, a coworker set me up with a machine running NixOS. I gave it a year before I binned it for Ubuntu. I just… didn’t see the point? The troubleshooting wasted so much of my time for seemingly no benefit.
The config file for managing basically the whole OS is amazing to begin with. Also the fact that the system is freshly rebuilt every update is neat too. And there is something where if a certain package requires a certain version of a library it will be installed alongside the current version just incase. Avoiding dependency hell.
About troubleshooting, the official wiki for nixos got made this year so it finally will start to make sense to new users. I used to use arch because of their amazing wiki but now I use nixos since there is an active effort to make it easier.
I use Gentoo btw
I’ve been using NixOS for about 3 years. Probably going to switch back to Arch, though.
You didn’t even care to relabel the axes, I don’t trust you.
It was about dwarf fortress, i refuse to belive otherwise
I vaguely remember it being about EvE Online, totally possible it was repurposed.
Yeah right now this graph says that on other OSs, your gaming skill steadily improves as you play.
But by the time you’ve learned and set up NixOS, your gaming skills will be crazy powerful but you’ve plateued.
…I guessssss it could make sense? XD
Well i do need to do a quick ol distro hop cos currently on manjaro and well im not particularly happy with it. I like debian headless on mer server so might jump to sonthing based on that, this graph isnt making nix look like a good choice tho pls enlighten me to the benefits
Just get endevour for a good arch experience without the hassle.
Was the original a joke about MMO learning curves with the top line being Path of Exile?
Path of exile is fine as long as you follow someone elses build
You might be able to get through the story and a couple of maps pretty easily without a guide, later acts will be difficult if you specced really wrong, but if you want to run endgame content and league mechanics while on a hardcore solo self founded character then you better go get fucking gud, mate.
I’m pretty sure I saw this with EVE Online a long time ago.
Yeah
Does this graph mean what it is supposed to mean for the joke to work? The black line means I learn much quicker with less time investment, i.e. it is easier than all the others.
No it means that it requires much more skill earlier in the progression.
That is a common misunderstanding of how learning curves work. A steep learning curve means your skill increases more rapidly with the invested time. That means the subject is easier or more intuitive.
NixOS documentation refusing to generate pages like readthedocs can drive a man insane…
