My code is so bad good, GitHub thinks I’ve uploaded an API key.

Might even say they ran like A55
This isn’t really guide. More a tool for finding what makes your system look like a VM. pafish is a good tool for detecting vms. It also tells you what gave it away. You can use pafish to find out what is giving you away and fix it.
What’s up with the ux design of nix? I get it’s made for advanced users but still. I’m reading through this guide and man it’s convoluted.
The different ways of installing packages. Either through editing the configuration.nix or running a command.
The weird inconsistency of nix commands. nix-env -iA
to install and nix-env --uninstall
to uninstall. Then updating uses nix-channel --update
but upgrade uses nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
. All this to use the package manager. Also haven’t even mentioned flakes or home manager.
It’s a cool OS, but the UX really needs work imo.
[Edit] I do wanna add something else too because I feel like my point isn’t getting across.
It’s okay to have a complicated ui. Especially if your target audience are tech-savvy. But even tech-savvy people have to start as new users. A tech-savvy new user isn’t going to know what the best practices are. Being able to anticipate the steps for installing a package is important for ux. If the commands for installing packages isn’t cohesive/intuitive, then the user has to spend more time looking for guides and learning how to use the software.
People also mentioned a new command in the works. This is great! However, these current commands are being recommended through blogs and nix. New users won’t know about this new command.
Thumbs are fingers and anyone who says otherwise is huffing blue paint
Never realised this was a controversial topic! xD
Such a shame they only research cs and teach new cs students.
I wouldn’t want to sully my repo with something as useful as a gitignore.
