    There’s legitimate criticism of systemd and I do understand that people can hate it.

    Anyways, systemd is so nice to use. Even more with nixos.

      A lot of people suddenly talking about NixOS lately but literally the only news I’ve seen about it in a while was that the maintainers are Slopping with AI Code.

        Is there an article on this I can read? I was about to start looking into trying Nix and that’s kinda disappointing to hear

          I might be exaggerating based on the little I’ve seen, particularly this post LINK which has a very misleading title, but the number of packages for AI integration to NixOS and forks for Agentic OS and workflows, the amount of support (real or otherwise) for AI in the NixOS communities, and articles like this one: LINK, would be a hard sell to tell me were all coincidence.

            Thanks for the link. Might put me off Nix a bit. I may look into comparing some of the other immutable distros like Fedora’s. Idk I avoided them early on, but I’ve had to spend a lot of time fixing shit lately and was considering a change.

              Have you tried CachyOS? It’s built on Arch but it’s a lot easier to get into, let’s you pick a desktop environment such as KDE Plasma or GNOME in the installation, the install media itself is a portable OS.

              Definitely good to keep an open mind while you shop around for your next distro.

              Recently there was a hacker issue with the AUR repos, but most of the packages you need are likely already on the official CachyOS package search without requiring an AUR package.
