Why aren't you using NixOS yet, Sup Forums?
Other urls found in this thread:
It's not gentoo
It's better than Gentoo. Gentoo wishes it was NixOS.
looks very interesting
>Why aren't you using NixOS yet, Sup Forums?
None of its benefits are significant to me.
Tell me how to setup exwm properly.
I have no idea what exwm is or does sorry.
Then I'm not using it.
Does this distro have anything to do with lambdas?
No, that's GuixSD. Proprietary cucks need not apply.
Does it use systemd?
Of course. This is an advanced, modern distro of the future.
The declarative configurations even include support for systemd. You don't just declare the packages you want installed, but even system services and so on. It's beautiful.
void is better
GuixSD respects my freedom.
Come here, I'll spoonfeed you.

kek
the logo is a ring of lambdas retard
why should i install nixos?
>he wan't inferior slowass package manager written in obsolete version of python
nice, thanks
What happens on nixos if you want a package that isnt in the repo? Say for example Waterfox.
Call me when I can remove poetteringware from it. By the looks of it this will never happen though.
This doesnt really concern me because I want experience with systemD since chances are every single enterprise linux will use it
> It's beautiful.
It's bloated as hell. The most bloat I've ever come across in a Linux distro
bloat
systemdick
>all packages are kept in /nix/store
oh shit!
What's bloated?
So why the fuck are you replying to me?

Bumping this
Nix is comfy, but I'm goin to try guixsd
but I am
You package it yourself. It's quite simple to do on NixOS.
Would probably be especially easy for Waterfox since you could copy the Firefox package for the most part.
I am, in a vm. I'm learning nix expression language.
I actually like guixSD better than nix atm, but I just can't stand compilation times.
What do you like about guixSD compared to NixOS? I've never tried the former.
Not him but I like scheme much more than nix lang. I wish there was guix based distro but with non free software and systemd. As an Admin I use that shit daily
does it have ez gui install?
Well, you could install Guix package manager on top of another distro with systemd. Has someone experience with this?
Yeah that doesn't work well. Also it's not just packet manager. Nixos and GuixSD are purely functional distributions.
There is a way to install nonfree stuff in kernel or nonfree programs for Guix but it will never be in official repos. I don't want to bother with that on work laptop.
It works fine for "standalone" types of applications.
Because I don't have a 12TB hard drive
>bloated declarative fags
You might as well kill yourself right now
>muh advanced package manager
a package manager needs to manage packages, not make you a coffe and stroke your dick. As expected by systemdcucks. Does it run on PID 1 too?
