  • And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment

    If you know about NixOS, then you probably know this, but Nix, the package manager/the language behind NixOS, is cross-platform.

    I daily drive NixOS, but I also use Nix (and home-manager) on my Fedora music laptop, my Ubuntu home file-server, and my work Windows machine (WSL) to install and configure neovim automatically instead of copying a config, installing all the packages, and running check health over and over again until everything is set up.

    I just copy my neovim.nix file over (also other things like zsh.nix) and run home-manager switch

    You don’t have to use NixOS to take advantage of its benefits.













  • Post title is misleading as he’s not really the one causing the drama.

    The mods gave him a 6-week suspension, and now it’s up, so he requested his access back. Nothing unusual

    The drama comes from people who just hate the guy and are screaming about letting him back. His response to that was then very cordial and just calling out them for being to aggressive.

    I’m not taking a stance on whether his suspension should become a ban or whether he’s gonna change or whatever; I’m just saying it’s simply false to say he’s continuing to cause the drama and problems when all he did was ask to get his commit access back and tell his haters they’re being assholes
