Ist ja gar nicht nötig, die Kaufkraft steigt ja wieder! Dann hole ich mir lieber noch einen richtigen.

Let us know when you do! It's a huge undertaking and NixOS has a pretty big network effect. Doesn't mean no one should tackle creating an alternative. I fully believe declarative distros are the future for any production environment and that the space is far from taken by current distributions.
Puh, ich dachte schon, ich könnte bei meinem Zweitporsche jetzt nicht mehr V-Power tanken.
Spahn bedient sich hier eines Strohmannarguments. Denn die Rechtsprechung in Karlsruhe scheint dem eben nicht entgegenzustehen:
Das zweite „Aber“ findet sich auf Seite 39 des Urteils. Diese Passage dürfte jetzt entscheidend werden. Eine vollständige Streichung des Existenzminimums ist auch dann möglich, wenn Hartz IV-Empfänger:innen „es selbst in der Hand haben, durch Aufnahme einer ihnen angebotenen zumutbaren Arbeit ihre menschenwürdige Existenz tatsächlich und unmittelbar durch die Erzielung von Einkommen selbst zu sichern.“ In solchen Fällen liege nämlich keine Bedürftigkeit vor. Werde eine tatsächlich existierende und zumutbare Erwerbstätigkeit „ohne wichtigen Grund“ willentlich verweigert, „ist daher ein vollständiger Leistungsentzug zu rechtfertigen“.

Genau hier ist das Arbeitsministerium ja dran. Aber damit kann man ja schlecht in der Opposition als Macher auftreten, der nicht einmal davor zurückschreckt, die Verfassung zu ändern, damit die ärmsten weniger Geld bekommen, so dass Parteibuddies in Bayern das Geld mal so richtig illegal verheizen können, ohne jemals belangt zu werden.
Good points. If you go through the open pull requests on nixpkgs, there's a lot of stuff that never got through and it's not obvious as to why. I was happy to see a lot of stuff merged less than a week ago. But at this point, there's a huge backlog.
As to forking NixOS, which in my opinion means forking Nixpkgs, Guix system seems like a good start. I decided for NixOS because of proprietary packages as I use Steam, and support for secure boot which while still young and only through lanzaboote works very well for what I use it.
As I mentioned somewhere else, getting a system to do what you want is the easy part. The impressive part is offering a solution that can be sustainably maintained long-term, at low effort for the user.
I wouldn't call LFS an actual distribution. Also, while anything but easy, getting a Linux system up from scratch is the easy part. Actually building an infrastructure to maintain it is hard.
Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of Debian's and by extension Ubuntu's development and distribution model. That being said, it's my personal preference, and not an objective judgement on quality.
Mint doesn't really have any features that make it especially interesting for advanced users that it doesn't inherit from Ubuntu or by extension Debian. Or does it?
Again, not trying to shit on it or anything, but Mint's goal was always to create an easy distribution, which is no small feat. But this is nothing I'd associate with "advanced users".
How to read NixOS documentation:
- Go to wiki, see if topic exists
- If it does, notice how it doesn't cover your case
- Use the hints from the wiki to get your search engine redirect you to https://ryantm.github.io/nixpkgs/
- Notice it still doesn't cover your use case
- Use search engine again, this time with the hints from aforementioned page, to arrive in the proper code in the nixpkgs repository
- Read annotated source code to see what actually happens
Yeah, this is how I found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/make-wrapper.sh yesterday because I wanted to install some shell scripts that needed to be adapted.
Don't get me wrong, maintaining a distribution the way NixOS is a huge effort and I can't praise the maintainers and developers enough. The ecosystem they've built is unlike I've seen anywhere, and the technical foundation is sound – in fact I'd wager more sound than what commercial distributions offer. The latter just have more grease. But I do understand the criticism about lacking documentation. But human labor is scarce, and I mean look at me posting this here instead of improving it.
There's also no good guidance or best practices for packages in nixpkgs and stuff is permanently changing (which in my opinion is good). E.g. did you know that new derivations should be sorted by letters, not categories, and not go into all-packages.nix? At least if your derivation doesn't require fancy attributes (pardon me if that is not the correct term). Or that stdenv.mkDerivation rec {…} is not best practice, but rather stdenv.mkDerivation (finalAttrs: {…})? And why the latter even works?
Writing good documentation for a system, especially one that's permanently evolving, is not easy, and I prefer all efforts going to actually maintaining and evolving the system itself than trying to get the perfect documentation that's outdated in a matter of time. And without trying to gatekeep it, NixOS is a distribution for advanced users. I recommend it to everyone who has a solid understanding of how a Linux system is composed because I think it's important what NixOS abstracts away from you. And as an advanced user, reading commented code once in a while is fine in my opinion.
No it’s not just a phase. Mint really is very good which is why it’s very popular and widely regarded as the overall best distro whether beginner or advanced user.
Mint widely regarded as the best distro for advanced users? I must have missed it.
Not trying to shit on it or anything, but I've never heard the sentiment.
In Deutschland macht man doch am Auto alles selber, den haben früher auch Millionäre selber gewaschen, natürlich so, dass die Nachbarn das auch gesehen haben.
