That’s my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn’t had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was… something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.
I may make some grammar mistakes, but remind you, english is not my main language. I am very interested in learning, so feel free to correct me in a polite manner.

I had some hope for Bluesky. I thought it was going to be the mid term between Twitter and Mastodon, but I got disappointed.
I got an invite to Blue Sky and realized why fediverse is great. Blue Sky already has the annoying kind of people that are on Twitter. We had those in fediverse, but they were all in some instances. Unfederated them and we are good. I don’t think the objective here is to get big as reddit, twitter, etc. I feel so much better having a small community that interacts with me and makes sense to me. It would be great having more people in fediverse as well, but the amount now is fine for me.
I am in the same position too. I mean, the appeal is having a config to redo everything if something goes wrong. Unlikely a debian/arch machines that I setup that I had no idea how I got there and what I can or can’t install/uninstall, lmao.
I tried NixOS and was quite frustrating when I needed community help / documentation. I guess that’s the aspect of “the new arch”, the community will go “not my problem fix it yourself”. I’ve seen some good tutorials on YT popped up since then, so I’ll try it again once I get college vacation. It’s hard for me as a non programmer/psychology student. My field doesn’t overlap with programming not by a little, lmao. I think you need to recommend nix and have the way people need to do things. Like, a nix flake? You can get it to work 100 ways, and nix uses its own language and way of declaring things. That’s one thing that made me go “I just need to have a working system and I have a Arch install script done”. I like to fiddle around with things, but when you are stuck with something and there isn’t a clear path to do it, it gets frustrating. The 100 ways to 1 thing makes copycat difficult, because you have to copy the same person, which will not have all the needs for you, or find people that did their config the same way (which is really hard). Like, overlays, packaging programs, making modules, even Arch had a “this is how you get things done” wiki. I really think Nix and NixOS is really good and I will try it out again in some months.
Nowadays Arch is pretty straight forward. You have gui installers like any other distro. I never broke my Arch install in 3+ years using it.
Keeping up with all the comments and the fear of being repetitive made it impossible indeed
Agreed about the less people makes it more comfy. The whole instance is your community too, I guess being able to choose what you want from a instance makes everyone more comfortable. You don’t get overflown with people with different objectives when it comes to browsing Lemmy.
I am 85kg 180cm tall and currently have 25% bf. Yes, I lift and I don’t see how this is relevant.
Windows just rips off every plasma feature at this point, even kde devs make fun of it
