I know it’s not that hard $ dpkg -i but opening the terminal gives normies an aneurysm and thanks to the crazy gatekeeping gen alpha doesn’t know what a file type is now.
I use Ubuntu btw. Personally, the App store’s on Linux confused me a ton, setting up Flatpak and some other package repositories. I much preferred the windows way, shocker, with just downloading and double-click the exe file.
Do I have to make a pull request myself to get this done, or what is the debate on this?
That’s incredible! I hope you didn’t write all of that just for little old me, and it’s your standard evangeluxing script!
I love this idea; you’ve convinced me to try! I’ve had a few instances where I’ve had to jump on the console and stack overflow to get something working, and there’s no way I could repeat it. I can see the appeal of what you called the declarative method. I have one desktop and one old laptop, so being able to copy (some) of the system definition sounds really handy.
I have nothing to lose but stability and sanity, lol. I’ll look at copying everything off of /home and finally wiping my primary windows drive - I haven’t booted into it on purpose in almost a year.
Yay, new Cult Member! 😄🎉
But seriously, awesome, have fun with it! Feel free to comment/message me if questions come up, but beside that, I have to mention that the NixOS forums are very active and friendly!
(And I actually did type that out yesterday, but I’ll definitely be copy-pasting it going forward 😄)
