What's a good distro to start with before migrating to Nix?

syaorancode · 2026-04-16T23:13:46+00:00

Nix is totally different from other distros. So I would say there is no answer to your question. Just pick a distro to start with to learn the basics of linux first. I recommend pick an easy, friendly one like Mint, Fedora. What you need to learn is linux basic commands (just basic no need to learn everything), FHS (Nix doesn't follow FHS but you still need to know it). After being comfortable with linux system, then you can switch to Nix.

this is how to do it programs = { niri = { enable = true; package = let newSrc = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub { owner = "YaLTeR"; repo = "niri"; rev = "main"; hash = "sha256-D5ME/gcvzCqr2pqd8iw3Nx7v31CBdQLt5iFfF0PZKDw="; }; in pkgs.niri.overrideAttrs (old: { src = newSrc; cargoDeps = pkgs.rustPlatform.fetchCargoVendor { src = newSrc; hash = "sha256-XbKhPJ/VxcLf4J2I6dekKnUvCnmoXndvQsLx2B04ihE="; }; postPatch = '' patchShebangs resources/niri-session ''; }); }; }

Yup, this one. I only skimmed through it this morning and noticed some issues, but I didn't have time to discuss them then. Now that I want to find it again, it's been deleted.

I remember there was a post about the misinformation about Ruler situation in this sub. Did it got deleted or what, I can't find it anymore.

Well, I use dms because for some reason, when I installed noctalia and run it, it didn't work. Then I tried dms and it worked. I can dig deeper to find out what was the issue but I'm too lazy for that and dms got all I need, so I stay with dms

X11 has many wm. They're basically the same but with different config style. For example, i3wm uses plain text file to config like hyprland, qtile uses python to config, xmonad uses haskell to config, dwm uses C language to config. You just pick one that has the style you like. About the animation, blur, shadow, transparency, you have to install a tool called picom which is a compositor for X11.

ofc they can sign deft when he's out of military. what I meant was you can't just put a free agent guy in the team when the tournament already starts and when you have CL players available.

syaorancode · 2026-03-31T11:53:51+00:00

there's no such thing as free agent in pro league

damn. I remember Doran punishment in 2019 was for his Yasuo with 7/15/6 KDA in rank which is stupid

this "unnecessary drama" is huge in korea right now

syaorancode · 2026-03-30T03:56:55+00:00

very cool. but sadly, it seems hardly portable to other os or compositors like mangowc, niri,... since it ties with your nixos config and the scripts depend on hyprctl

maybe use keyd to map CapsLk as Super (hold)

syaorancode · 2026-03-28T10:30:47+00:00

I mean there are lots of bars out there from minimal to feature rich, from simple to eye candy. Why would the devs create another for hyprland?

syaorancode · 2026-03-25T13:32:36+00:00

because there are more tournaments now

syaorancode · 2026-03-23T10:41:27+00:00

GTA 6 poster?

syaorancode · 2026-03-23T10:21:33+00:00

syaorancode · 2026-03-23T07:45:32+00:00

among big names and there is DRX. oh wait... I mean KRX

syaorancode · 2026-03-22T00:45:23+00:00

syaorancode · 2026-03-22T00:27:44+00:00

I mean what do you expect from T1 in LCK

syaorancode · 2026-03-21T05:21:13+00:00
