  • After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

    I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

    To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

    You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

    You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

    I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.

    I’ve tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don’t see how it’s better.

    Even looking at the screenshots I don’t understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn’t even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.

    Then there’s the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn’t work with nvidia, etc.

    There’s nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.
