No don't use Nix they're evil. Use Lix or Auxolotl or Tvix or Tangram or Brioche or Guix

Why is Nix evil? This is the first I heard

There was some politically charged drama... I think. There was some drama, anyway. I'm not clear on the details.

It was probably a Twitter-tier disagreement that was blown way out of proportion by a small group of people. If others have details, please don't enlighten me, I value my ignorance.

NixOS accepted a military company and Pentagon contractor as sponsor and only dropped it after backlash. Ever since then the trust in Nix governance is damaged, even with them trying to regain trust.

(There also are other problems it appears like a distro maintainer pushing new & superfluous core tools without any discussion about it, but this seems to be the biggest one)

Debian/ubuntu/arch is easy to use even as a beginner, just try NixOS and compare.

Tap for spoiler

Nix OS is so much pain

Use Ansible or something else

Oh I actually need a recommendation... I have a tiny 7 inch LCD monitor. If I hook it up to my iPad the colors are fine but when I run it from the mini Linux computer I have the colors are all washed out and have weird dithering.

I know it's a driver issue and I haven't been able to find one that works. I also tried different distros. I tried mint, ubuntu and I think one other one that I can't remember. All had the same issue.

Do any of you have ideas? How can I fix it

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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.
    • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
