- # Ixnay on the IxOSnay
-
- dear sister...
-
- by the time you read this, my laptops OS will be dead.
-
- heres how I think it'll go down:
-
- ## open source programs
-
- the support for them on nixos is **excellent**, no problems there, if that was all i were doing (and it is about 97% of what i do) it'd be fine.
-
- i still intend 100% to use nix the package manager as the dependency and build environment tool of choice for my personal projects, its too good to not use.
-
- ## closed source programs
-
- mainly, ***games***, im an edgy kid i like to play games in my free time, and whenever im on holiday (prime time for playing games all day) i like to be able to *install* them.
-
- this is not an easy task on NixOS.
-
- this is not an easy task at all.
-
- this is a really *really* **really** ***really*** annoying task on nixos.
-
- sometimes they'll *just werk* if you set up a virtual file system
-
- every other time you're better off setting up a VM just to avoid all the library hell you'll have to go through.
-
- ## final thoughts
-
- short post, i gotta get around to `dd'ing` a usb and messing up everything.
-
- one day i'll stick to a distro, maybe even one i really really like (like nixos)
-
- it's not you nixos its me. my beard isn't long enough, i have too much of a social life at the moment, i'm not worthy.
-
- until we meet again.
-
- `close nixos || hcra nepo`
