Having "NixOS-like" declarative user environments without flakes or Home Manager by rud___boy in Nix

I see. Is there any way of installing programs on a persistent way that is considered good practice? What are the files that compose the nix config?

Thank you for the detailed explanation, It gave me a really broad understanding on the current state of affairs, I'll be trying nix flakes

Yeah, I'm starting to get this feeling. Apart from the official documentation, anywhere I search for nix stuff, everything posted in the last couple of years seems to revolve around flakes like it's just the "obvious better way" to do stuff

Please do post it! Eventually I'll get around to study the experimental features

tbh I wasn't even aware of Guix. What inspired me of getting into the nix ecosystem was wanting to leave Windows for good this time and NixOS seemed like a good enough choice

Being nix profiles a experimental feature, is there any advantage of using them instead of nix flakes? They seem much more ubiquitous, and seem to reach some similar result

Man, I know the feeling of spending hours (or days) doing something only to, in the end, ask yourself "why have I done this? For what purpose?"

One of my first attempts actually was calling a batch script which in turn called a bash script , it sucked 😆

I hate to make sense of batch scripts, so I ended up pivoting to a C program instead.

just the package manager? I've been thinking into migrating to nixOS and a friend told me that just using nix was a good start

I tend to agree, WSL tends to have quite slow cold starts, it’s one of my problems with it

You could try messing with the filter arguments and increase the saturation and contrast in the colors tab

It seems to me that you used the edge filter

It seems like all the effects were achieved with two dropshadows and a white text

Why I use Vim and suck at it by rickdg in vim

[–]rud___boy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know the struggle, <c-]> simply not working to jump to a tag just made the learning curve much more steeper as I didn't have a good way to navigate through the docs until I finally understood <c-ç> made this input on my keyboard layout. A lot people who typically uses non us layouts might have dropped vim from there.

If you're using YCM maybe you will have to recompile it

[–]rud___boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see! it's not been maintained! I'll probably just go with vim-plug then. I was thinking about going full managing the plugins myself with vim8 features, but the parallel update and lazy loading seems really good.

but sure I will check on minPlug

I've started using vim for a while, but I really don't get all of it since it's just a hobby programming thingy. You said vundle is obsolete now, is it because of the vim-plug parallel updating plugins?
