…NixOS is the new Arch Linux. Change my mind.
The difference is I can upgrade my NixOS without breaking everything hahaha. But it has gotten a lot more popular recently, which I think is your analogy? Or because people always bring it up now lol
yea i think its the popularity spike. if only there were more docs on flakes though.
I still don’t completely get their point, TBH.
And the Nix language seems to be intentionally confusingly close to json.
Seriously, the learning curve of nixOS is still… exhausting. Couldn’t get it to run with plasma 6 and wayland and the documentation is so incomplete.
Edit: Typo
Are you starting fresh or did it work with another DE? Might help in tracking down the problem
Fresh install on a VM. Was a bit confused that the default was Xorg. Changing both to wayland and to Plasma 6 was too complicated for me.
Edit: Typo
With plasma 6, you need
services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = “plasma”;
instead of " plasmawayland", since wayland has become the default
Couldn’t Arch users just install it through the Nix Package manager?
NixOS users install KDE using a NixOS config option, as there’s a lot of configuration needed to make KDE run beyond just installing the binaries.
