Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Never managed to brick my NixOS System
Me either but I'm tired of clearing my schedule to read wiki pages every time I want to make any change to my configuration
Same goes for any distro though. For nix it's just all in the same place.
On other distros I don't have to read the wiki to look up the syntax of installing nvidia drivers, or rustup, or neovim, or home-manager (the package manager that lets me install programs as a user The NixOS Way™ and if you use nix-env instead you're doing it wrong (the instructions on the wiki for installing home-manager do not work anymore, and also involve nix-channels which you are apparently never supposed to use ever, and even after managing to get it installed and reading 3 articles about it I am still not sure what it does)) because no two of those are installed the same way
