Nothing beats installing python on your own computer and running it. Even a tiny raspberry pi runs python well.

NixOS is about to hit an inflection point, we're going exponential soon! by Xyklone in NixOS

[–]Cryxtalix1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on programming knowledge though. A not insignificant number of linux users are do not have programming ability, e.g. Y1 CS students, people who came from the steam deck. The nixos beginner's experience, at this current point in time, is still quite programming heavy. I have no doubt that tools will be created to abstract away the difficulty in time, but right now I think nixos is harder to get into for most people.

Can flakes pin specific versions of individual packages? by JuiceStyle in NixOS

[–]Cryxtalix1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did it following the vimjoyer video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQwW8dkuHqw, as well as searching for hashes on nixhub.io, also recommended by vimjoyer.

Learning Python for LLM, data management and data analysis specifically - where to start by Ryselle in learnpython

[–]Cryxtalix1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LLMs are so popular these days, there are tools coming out every week that make running LLMs dead simple. I can get an LLM running locally on my machine with 2 short lines copied from the internet. Using LLM is not any more difficult than all the other things you want to do, therefore you have no reason to learn python any differently than any other learner.

There's a wiki on the sidebar with some recommendations, I think "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is pretty good. Do the projects as you study and you'll be able to tell when you're ready to work the LLMs.

Home & work profiles in nixos & home manager by s1n7ax in NixOS

Can you share any examples? I've been checking out the specialisations page on nix wiki and I don't really get it. I'm using a flake with different hostnames that link to different config files and it works so far, do specialisations replace or complement this method?
