20nat@feddit.itto Nix / NixOS@programming.dev•What are the recommended ways to create bundles of software for a nixos config so you only have to select a single option to install and configure multiple related packages?English111·1 month agoIf it’s only for your self I would write a nix module that does everything you need, then import the module in the system configuration. If you want to enable/disable it all you need is to add/remove one line in the imports section.
I understand but that’s not how I think when I develop something.
I usually try to find a tool, library, program or functionality that is missing. If I find something that does that already, I use it. If it is missing something or is not perfect, I try to contribute to it.
I strongly believe in joining efforts to build better tools and that software quality can soffer from too high fragmentation.
Never used arch but I share the same feeling for distro sometimes. A linux distro can either:
- Introduce a new way of doing things, or some big novelty
- Being a complete waste of time and effort The vast majority is the second case, but sometimes we are lucky and we get something new.

Instead of wasting time on something that has already 1k iterations, they could redirect that effort on something beneficial to Linux.

Any person contributing to this new installer is a person less contributing to something distro agnostic, which is a loss for everyone.

Why people can’t just use Calamares and stop reinventing the wheel?
This is just wrong, you used the main account password instead of an app password
Can you elaborate?
