I agree, so what are the exact steps I can take to fix the country?

I think an immutable system package manager like Nix is perfect to supplement Flatpak.

Upgrade 22 LTS upgrade to Ubuntu 24 LTS failed and I forgot the upgrade didn't succeed when I rebooted. Unlike NixOS, it doesn't roll all the changes back when the upgrade is unsuccessful

I've broken both Fedora and Ubuntu already, so I had to find better solutions. With NixOS I can roll back to a previous revision easily on boot

Then how come we have more packages than the AUR?

And don't say it's because we packaged Python and Haskell stuff since we have more non-unique packages too

Nix, if it's not obvious from my other posts

I'm okay with this, as long as it's the one I'm using

There are only two options that fix dependency hell. Nix and Guix

You're re-inventing the Nix tool which is exactly a script that sets up all the programs and services you want to install

If you improve the installer to the point it can install any combination of software together (including incompatible versions of deps) you end up with NixOS again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

The services it installs are systemd, though

No need to make a new distro, just package it into NixOS

 

When is the admin going to run out of excuses?
