It is kind of neat how you can store an entire linux in text in config files and save your os in a github repo.

I love Sophie but hate immutable distros.
install gentoo

>>108054661
Just make gemini do it

the devs got overrun by trannies who purged 4/5 of the nix board members, then handed a resignation letter to Eelco Dolstra (founder of nix) demanding he resigns and leaves

AAAAAAA I WAS ABOUT TO REINSTALL

>>108054930
The only serious init system is s6
It's correct, robust, and efficient.

>>108054607
Use case when ansible exists?

tried it again
wasted a few hours without any meaningful progress tried both niri and mangowc. niri never managed to build just generated different kinds of errors each time and mangowc would start up with a blank config file and no keybinds so you cant do shit without quitting to tty.

the installation instructions for niri dont exist and for mangowc dont give you a working window manager after you run them. basically its a mess nothing is consistent and almost nothing works.

i suppose it has potential but you're relying on an additional layer of maintenance in addition to the underlying package/thing you're relying to to make sure all it's shit works and is configurable with home manager.

i get the appeal but spending hours in errors is simply not worth it when installing a working version of niri in arch is 1 command

>>108054607
just regenerate your system from your nix config, anon
it's exactly the same from installing from scratch

>>108055961
atomic

>>108055961
I don't think ansible deploys your distro from scratch like when you reinstall the distro.

>>108054607
not using trannyxOS sorry DUDE

>>108057467
It doesn't. You use it to configure a vm, and then you put the vm image on bare metal.
You use Packer to run the Ansible playbook.

Update: I won't even have to copy a disk image anywhere. I can use ansible and qemu to install an os directly to paravirtualized hardware.

if you constantly have the need to reinstall an OS then it's not very good
