MarkGreat fun I just had with Nixbook, a project by Mike <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@codemonkeymike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@codemonkeymike</a> , turning your computer in a Nix-powered Chromebook. Restarted 8 years ago with Linux Mint and have been on a great Linux journey since. and yes, I've done them all (except LFS and some other curiosa). Nice to be on Cinnamon again. Did Nix as well, and still had those configuration.nix files lying around. Don't really need them, all just works. Only switched a channel of course ;-) Check it out, it's a great one!

Linux Is BestNixOS is going to give me a headache. lol I can connect to Bluetooth once I log in. But I need Bluetooth (keyboard) to login. My Bluetooth adaptor is plugged into my PCs front USB port. I have the following in my config: # Powers on Bluetooth at boot. hardware.bluetooth.powerOnBoot = true; # Enables Bluetooth hardware.bluetooth.enable = true; I am using KDE Plasma, which means the login manager is SDDM. <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/NixOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Nix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

Hello! I'm looking forward to meeting all of the new folks on this server.

Linux Is BestEveryone is talking about PewDiePie using Linux. What do you see? You see another person talking about the terminal and all the crazy things you can do with the terminal. Which means he is not a newbie, and he is recommending Mint, whose support community, despite offering some user-friendly GUI tools, will insist you learn the terminal for everything. Look at Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS. That is what people are looking for on Linux. Not to geek out, or deep dive into a command prompt, but the simple point and click, ease of use. So to sum up, they want to use their computer, not work on their computer. Your PC should be so easy to use, that the kid back in grade school, who made all those questionable choices, who likely ate paste, could understand how to use their computer. Because that is what most end-users, want - something they can use with as little thought and effort as humanely possible. Good news, it is 2025, Linux can be that easy! I worked in Consumer IT. That means, I dealt with people who struggled to find their desktop. My "favorite" question from people who did not know tech was instructing them to find something on their desktop, and them asking, where do I find the desktop - Not joking. YES, those people can use Linux too. But it is not Linux Mint. I know this, because if the consumer wanted to try Linux, it was our job, to help them use Linux. Those who tried Mint, left Linux and jumped right back to Windows or Apple, in record time. Install Fedora KDE Plasma, set up automatic updates, and you'd done. That's it. Everything is going to work and keep on working, 98% of the time. Fedora is the semi-rolling release to CentOS, which moves to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is going to have fanatic hardware support and offer outstanding stability. If you're OK not having the latest software, and want just a little more stability, use CentOS. Discover (Flatpak) is your app store. Point and click installs. No thinking, no configuration, just ease of use. It will also let you know when your operating system (Fedora / CentOS) needs updating, and you click on update, just like you would in Windows Update or Apple Update. No terminal, no thinking, it just does the job for you. KDE Plasma, all your setting in 1 place. Point in click. Even easier than Microsoft Control Panel. Try it. Even the Start Menu (app menu) looks like Windows (see screenshot). They even organize it for you. For example, your web browser will be in your Internet category. Perhaps you want to configure files and change advance settings. You can still do that in Fedora, but still, let's make it easier even for you, who want to tweak configurations and use the terminal, and use NixOS. See screenshot, that is NixOS running KDE Plasma. 1 master file runs everything. You still have all your basic settings, point and click, ease. But if you want to learn more, you don't have to go finding things or trying to remember where something is, just 1 file to rule them all (Yes, it’s like the Lord of the Rings). Linux can be so much easier, no matter if you're an absolute newbie, who knows nothing. Or you want to learn, and get your hands dirty. We've got something for everyone, and it does not need to be so damn hard on you. <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/PewDiePie" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PewDiePie</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/NixOS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a>

Mike :nixos:I sometimes run into issues installing <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a> on normal x86 hardware and don't understand why. On this older HP laptop Linux mint installs just fine but NixOS will always fail when installing the bootloader. Is this a grub thing? Has anyone fixed this?

GrimmauldNow this is silly, but fun!I got <a href="https://mastodon.grimmauld.de/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nixos</a> running sway entirely without libX11 in the closure!It seems the VM rendering pipeline really does not like this, so i had to resort to display out via VNC, but good enough. Red and Blue color channels are switched - this is an issue with wlvncc on my host, and i honestly have no clue what is wrong with *that*.If you want to look at the config, be *very scared* of cursed overlay stacks. But it does work, and is only ~150 rebuilds missing from cache!<a href="https://git.grimmauld.de/Grimmauld/nixos-vms/src/branch/main/minimal_vm/configuration.nix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://git.grimmauld.de/Grimmauld/nixos-vms/src/branch/main/minimal_vm/configuration.nix</a>

Mike :nixos:I just had a fun idea. For my nixbook talk at <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lfnw25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lfnw25</a> I'll be giving away 8 nixbooks at the event. They're all 8th gen i7 with 16gigs of ram. Def a few years old, but completely capable of daily use, esp for basic users. People can use these themselves or give them to friends / family or anyone local to them that need a computer. Could be fun! <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOS</a>
