last look at my system b4 installing nixos

[cursive grail]

goodbye old friend

you have served me well

but its time i move on

[summer wind]

damn a lot of people are moving to nixos

[cursive grail]

ive herd its really hard to fck up a nixos installation so i wanna taste of it

[summer wind]

i mean, you can fuck it up if you dont have internet (me in a nutshell)

though i didnt think of updating my ethernet drivers, after that i dont have any more problems

[cursive grail]

what? if youdonthave internet the whole system is bricked?

[summer wind]

nah

you just get sent to the non-GUI nixos

but thats mostly for like ethernet problems

after you update it you can freely install it without problems

i am actually talking on nixos atm

[cursive grail]

well... no turning back now

[sharp flame]

i prefer https://ublue.it

it's also hard to break

but it's much simpler to install and use

• it has a u t o m a t i o n

[cursive grail]

too lazy to setup my workflows

my workflow is too dynamic

too messy

too unorganized

[summer wind]

imo the part which got me to use nixos is that the configs are all in one file (for me at least)

[cursive grail]

does anyone know how to enable google sync in chromium?

[hasty torrent]

based users

[cursive grail]

well that was quick

i got like the same setup this fast

wasnt even that hard

also i did it all from scratch so no dotfiles or anything

[hasty torrent]

welcome to the realm of chads

wp satria

[cursive grail]

the only thing i dint put in the config nix is the gnome extensions

[hasty torrent]

that can be done as well

[cursive grail]

and zsh stuff

[summer wind]

you can yoink my install of zsh

or ill just say it here

users.defaultUserShell = pkgs.zsh;
programs.zsh.enable = true;
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  pkgs.zsh
]

thats deadass what i added for zsh

[hasty torrent]

third line is not necessary if the second line is present

you do not need to declare pkgs.zsh if you program.zsh.enable

[cursive grail]

@hasty torrent how do i disable the grub theme? i use my laptop for school and i dont want to attract people

[hasty torrent]

boot.loader.grub.theme

[cursive grail]

what do i set it to?

[hasty torrent]

null i guess

[summer wind]

i think i added that since nixos didnt like how i setted it up

[hasty torrent]

[summer wind]

ill remove that then rq

(second line i mean)

[cursive grail]

if you just enable a service without mentioning it in system packages, will it automatically add itself?

[summer wind]

i think so

[hasty torrent]

yes

in fact, you shouldn't mention it in system pkgs if you do the enabling method

[cursive grail]

aight

[summer wind]

removed second line and it didnt like it

[hasty torrent]

removfe the first line too

i forgot to mention that

ah i gtg

[summer wind]

why?

[cursive grail]

can someone review this? just in case something is wrong or unneeded

[hasty torrent]

cyall later my frens

[summer wind]

since that would just not make zsh the default

[cursive grail]

aight bye

[summer wind]

cya

[summer wind]

should be fine i think?

[cursive grail]

if you say so

[summer wind]

if its wrong nixos wont build it btw

[cursive grail]

i think he ment hes gonna watch anime

[cursive grail]

yes ik from experience

[summer wind]

also if you want to you can take a look into my config https://github.com/CuteDog5695/nixos-config/blob/main/configuration.nix

[cursive grail]

how do i backup my config to github?

do i just init a git repo in /etc/nixos?

[hasty torrent]

yes

[cursive grail]

@mental egret your the only arch user left

[mental egret]

?

[vocal veldt]

i distro hopped alot this year tbh but yh goodbye manjaro customized setup ig

[sharp flame]

ew manjaro

[vocal veldt]

I am pretty sure he's using manjaro

[sharp flame]

i need to nuke my manjaro install already

Sadly yes

[vocal veldt]

your gonna use bazzite?

[summer wind]

I think he switched to nixos now

[vocal veldt]

ik but i meant preivously

[summer wind]

Ah alr

[cursive grail]

me? I was using manjaro when my old arch installation was getting way too bloated, then I ran into manjaro's issues and changed the manjaro repos to arch repos

[vocal veldt]

ohhh

[cursive grail]

then that got bloated as well so I install nixos to hopefully have more control over installed apps

and manage them better

[summer wind]

oh you will, dw

(as far as i've seen)

[sharp flame]

Yes

[cursive grail]

is nix stupid or smthing???

its saying conf.nix is not found BUT ITS RIGHT THERE

@hasty torrent sorry for the ping but pls help

nvm sorry for the ping

[hasty torrent]

cuz you have git

[hasty torrent]

lol nw

[cursive grail]

im trying to run unpackaged unity games and it keeps complaining about nix-ld and shit

[cursive grail]

minecraft is working

[cursive grail]

config files if you wanthttps://github.com/SX-9/nix-conf

[cursive grail]

i just realized this is the showcase channel lmao

[cursive grail]

broke my system for the first time and man this distro is soo different from the others

feels like the knowladge arch linux gave me is useless in this system

like trying to repair the bootloader was not like ive seen before

[cursive grail]

@hasty torrent do u use home manager?

what do i do in this situation??

[hasty torrent]

yes sir

[hasty torrent]

you are using different versions of nixpkgs in hm and system

make sure you're using the same one

[cursive grail]

yeah check the second ss

[hasty torrent]

show me your hm config

[cursive grail]

{ pkgs, ... }: let
  username = "satr14";
in {
  home = {
    packages = with pkgs; [
      hello
    ];

    username = "${username}";
    homeDirectory = "/home/${username}";
    stateVersion = "23.11";
  };
}

thats it lmao

im following a guide rn

it said to leave stateVersion as is but im not sure of that

[hasty torrent]

and yo system config?

just the part that declares stateVersion

[cursive grail]

preaty big

and i need nitro to send it...

[cursive grail]

its mostly the same as on github @hasty torrent all i did was add home-manager to lib/apps.nix

and the new home.nix file

[hasty torrent]

alr

remove the stateVersion line entirely

[cursive grail]

u sure?

alr ig

[cursive grail]

error: The option `home.stateVersion' is used but not defined.

[hasty torrent]

change yo system and hm to 24.05

[cursive grail]

theyre both already on 24.05

still got warn

[hasty torrent]

that makes zero sense, sir

[cursive grail]

it does let me build but it warns me about isssues

[hasty torrent]

who cares about warnings fr just ignore it then

[cursive grail]

sorry, i ment when version missmatch it warns. when theyre the same it errors saying hm stateVersion 24.05 isnt valid type

[hasty torrent]

nixos moment

this is why we use windows

sorry i really don't know why the hells that would happen

[cursive grail]

why i still dualboot frfr

[hasty torrent]

[cursive grail]

maybe i need to update to 24.11

[hasty torrent]

yes

[summer wind]

@hasty torrent isnt 24.11 the unstable channel?

or am i getting that wrong

[hasty torrent]

no

[summer wind]

oh

[hasty torrent]

24.11 is the latest stable channel

...

[summer wind]

[hasty torrent]

[summer wind]

[hasty torrent]

[summer wind]

this is 23.11 mate

[hasty torrent]

[hasty torrent]

LOL

[cursive grail]

yeah ik

i discarded my home-manager config

ill just stick with good old dotfiles

[summer wind]

aka configuration.nix?

[cursive grail]

i already switched to flakes

[summer wind]

or am i just not getting your message

[hasty torrent]

real chads forget nixos and use windows 11

[cursive grail]

i ment for the home dir

[summer wind]

ah

[summer wind]

[hasty torrent]

[cursive grail]

[hasty torrent]

based ethan

10 is outdated and ancient

i miss windows 7

[cursive grail]

11 lags the fuck off my pc

[summer wind]

at least you dont get shoved down your ass to add a microsoft account (i think?)

[cursive grail]

i have a vm for that actually

[hasty torrent]

that's because it is crap software

[hasty torrent]

[cursive grail]

[hasty torrent]

common win11 L

#bringBackWindows7

[summer wind]

if you have a new and good pc win11 is worth it

[summer wind]

[summer wind]

my first PC was with win10

but for the first time using the laptop its windows xp

and also win7/vista

(the other laptop was from my grandma)

[cursive grail]

also what was so bad about vista again? i dont really use it b4 but it doesnt even look that bad

[summer wind]

same here

dunno what was wrong with it imo

as far as i remember

[cursive grail]

same thing with 8 like i personally like it a lot

feels more immersive

[summer wind]

oh ye i also didnt really hate that os

[cursive grail]

i use like the full screen start menu thing back then when i was a windows user

[cursive grail]

aaaaah its on unstable lmao

[vocal veldt]

Same it can run it but windows 10 is just faster

[vocal veldt]

Win 10 pro debloated hehe

[cursive grail]

its reproducable afterall

[hasty torrent]

[cursive grail]

yes i like simplicity
