My Mint installation had been happily chugging away for two years now. I just want a PC that works.

Having a NAS to save all my docs in makes switching OSs really fun (until they need a bunch of tweaks to get them just the way I want them to be).

I'm very happy that I have 2hds in this laptop for this exact reason.

I look at it as a learning experience!

Tell me you use Linux without telling me you use Linux

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

My Linux doesn't work and I really want to do a fresh install but I'm scared.

[–] daddycool@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

If it doesn't work, you can't break it.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Just make sure your files are backed up and then go for it. You can also try a live system first. If it boots into that it'll run on your machine. Or do a practice run with an old machine or in a VM.

Mate, I didn't even install the Linux myself, I had to get my techie uncle to do it 😭😭😭 you think I know how to do any of the things you suggested? I was so proud of myself with my sudo! Apt! Upgrade!

And now I have no internet on my Linux 😭😭😭

You guys really need better hobbies

My old intel MacBook has 3 flavors of Linux, macOS and windows. Because why not go through the order of operations guess and check hellscape.

You’re not wrong.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You forgot "one of them is Arch, btw"

just did this lastnight, went from Arch back to NixOS. was on Arch for like all of a week.

[–] Paulemeister@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

With NixOS and the impermanence flake it's always in a freshy reinstalled state

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Give it another week before you’re back on Arch

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 2 points 1 hour ago

nah I find it boring now and it turns into a mess very quickly. only reason I was on Arch is cause i needed a "vacation" from NixOS to get a project done. project is done so went back to NixOS.

[–] piguyisme@programming.dev 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Cant count how many times I've gotten frustrated with nixos, switched to a trendy new distro, started missing nixos, and switched back in a week with my config bringing me right back

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

i want nix os but im just not smart enough to figure it out 😭

[–] Paulemeister@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago

Maybe start in a VM, get things how you want, then copy your config. It just takes time reading through self documenting code^^

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 17 hours ago

I fuck things up often enough that I don't need to do it for fun.

[–] homes@piefed.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I was planning on doing this today for a server that I remote administer, but my buddy was too busy. Maybe tomorrow?
