        <p>dear sister…</p>
<p>by the time you read this, my laptops OS will be dead.</p>
<p>heres how I think it’ll go down:</p>
<h2 id="open-source-programs">open source programs</h2>
<p>the support for them on nixos is <strong>excellent</strong>, no problems there, if that was all i were doing (and it is about 97% of what i do) it’d be fine.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="closed-source-programs">closed source programs</h2>
<p>mainly, <strong><em>games</em></strong>, 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 <em>install</em> them.</p>
<p>this is not an easy task on NixOS.</p>
<p>this is not an easy task at all.</p>
<p>this is a really <em>really</em> <strong>really</strong> <strong><em>really</em></strong> annoying task on nixos.</p>
<p>sometimes they’ll <em>just werk</em> if you set up a virtual file system</p>
<p>every other time you’re better off setting up a VM just to avoid all the library hell you’ll have to go through.</p>
<h2 id="final-thoughts">final thoughts</h2>
<p>short post, i gotta get around to <code>dd'ing</code> a usb and messing up everything.</p>
<p>one day i’ll stick to a distro, maybe even one i really really like (like nixos)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>until we meet again.</p>
<p><code>close nixos || hcra nepo</code></p>
