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!

If you used NixOS, you could move your whole OS there!
Seriously thinking about nuking my years old Gentoo installation to try Nixos at this point.
Could always just get another drive instead of tearing it down, storage is pretty cheap these days.
True. I'll migrate my
/home
back to my root drive and use the spare drive to experiment with.Tell me more...
The whole OS is configured by a single file (or subfiles you include from the main file) - every package and setting can be there. Meaning you just move the file to a new OS, run a single command, and you have the exactly same OS.
