title: Ixnay on the IxOSnay
published: 2018-09-16

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`
