fix-python is a brillaint tool for python devs on nixos!

Been fighting nix-shell for weeks now trying to handle python virtual environments "the nix way" and it's so incredibly problematic. Fix-python script just patches every binary in the virtualenv to point directly to nix resources - simple and just works™

#nixos users, if you're trying some new software that's available both in nixpkgs and flatpak, and both are kept up to date well enough, do you have a preference for which you use?

In my case running on nixos-unstable I often have to comment out packages when there are build failures, so I've been leaning more and more on flatpaks to get around that, but I'm curious how others decide between nixpkgs, flathub, appimages, or whatever else

Hey #Linux peeps. What is the best wifi enabled printer that works well with Linux and #NixOS

I'm replacing this old brother printer and want some recommendations on a replacement.

After an update broke my Nextcloud installation (again), I've decided to try out ownCloud's OCIS on my #nixos home server. It's a relatively new product that was rewritten entirely in Go, and has no database or storage dependencies.

First impressions: snappy and robust, but pretty barebones. It only offers basic file storage/sharing functionality, with no extensions for mail, contacts, calendar, etc. like Nextcloud does.

This might be a plus for you if you found that Nextcloud has been getting a bit 'bloated' with all the extra functionality. Personally, I already have other services for non-file-sharing stuff (e.g. Radicale for CalDAV/CardDAV), so it's fine by me.

Setting up Oauth2 login with Keycloak was a bit of a pain though, and I had to basically import the test realm from their GitHub repo, and replicate the settings one by one to my own realm. Once set up however, it now works like a charm.

Only time will tell if this is gonna be my preferred solution for sharing files with friends/family/etc., but for now, it looks promising.

Attention #nix #nixos nerds who want to help an open source project that will enable more people to use and enjoy #linux at a VERY critical time.

I need your help!

I have have a repo for a #nixbook installer that I want to customize to make it much easier for newcomers to install.

I believe this is possible but outside my expertise.

I've broken up what I'm looking to do in 2 separate issues.

If you can help, I (and the world) would be so grateful!

I have an extensive #Ansible playbook for setting up my #Debian desktop from scratch. Apps, users, config etc. But given the number of non deterministic dependency hell hoops I have to jump through I’m wondering if something like #NixOS is a better idea.

No shade on Debian or Ansible, they’re great. But I’m wondering if they’re the right tools for this particular job.

I like to think of Arch Linux in the same way the C programming language gives you the freedom to royally screw things up if you don't know what you're doing, and NixOS in the same way that the Rust programming language provides safety to prevent you from easily making stupid mistakes.
