  • At times i have felt that my distro was so not worth the flak.

    But the thing that keeps me on it is i write it once and never half to dick with it again.

    NixOS is really powerful, but the learning curve will push you to the edge!

    I currently self host alot of stuff on my server which runs NixOS, theres some services that are as simple as ollama.service = true;

    And others that you spend hours cussing at. But i feel the declarative nature is what makes switching to any other distro feel so unintuitive.

    My linux journey had been,

    Manjaro > ubuntu > arch > fedora > silverblue > opensuse tumbleweed > gentoo > nixos > opensuse tumbleweed > nixos.

    I kept coming back to nix because i wrote what i wanted it to do and it did it that way every time. Its been a godsend for ZFS, although its not super bad to use ZFS on debian just mostly time consuming. The fact i dont half to worry about a update breaking DKMS and making my filesystem not work. I SWEAR SUN IF YOU COULD HAVE JUST DONE THE GPL INSTEAD OF CDL!!!

    I have recently been exploring Guix, purely because of the NixOS drama. But i think nix is my main server OS




  • Good for him! Im glad he grew, i used to be nonverbal aswell And well now i cant stop talking :P

    It takes time and people to grow. Just remember, don’t let others tear you down. How many times in my personal life, ive been told that i couldn’t do something because of cerebral palsy or autism. Has never stopped me, i think the worst thing you can do to an autistic person is say “they cant”. Now dont take this as people are lazy because well people say that about me sometimes. Let them define there limits, dont push them over the edge. Its like asking a person in a wheelchair to climb a mountain, its not that they cant, but if they are determine to. Be there for them to help them along the way but dont chastise them for failing at there goal. Help them grow, say we can try again. Let see if we can do it differently, after all autism just means your neurologically different. Not broken, defective or wrong. Just different, in the same way as cars and trucks are.

    Trucks are good at hauling things. Cars are good at moving people.

    Everybody has there own way of doing things!

    Sorry for the paragraph, i just feel that currently there is so much stigmatism about autistic people.

    I hate to use the word but high functioning. But i am, and my friends ive hung out with for years since highschool. Never realised i was autistic, i eventually told them. And they were kinda surprised, “you dont look autistic?” They didnt mean it in a rude way, there both very caring people. I tried to blend in most of my life with people. But i want to change that, people should be proud of who they are and what makes them, there self’s!
