The worst thing about Nix is the amount of cringe you experience when listening to a podcast where they complain about how difficult it can be to install/ship software and get all dependencies to play nice, or get it to work for all Linux distros, etc. without any of the hosts knowing that Nix exists.

Is there a way to browse the #nixpkgs documentation offline? I need it a lot and searching the internet is slow.

Meh, after the U-Blue Aurora image now my Fedora Kinoite 44 container image with the nix directory hits the "max depth exceeded" error and cannot be built normally. Or does anyone have a trick to solve that error?

"buildx failed with: ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: failed to register layer: max depth exceeded"

I guess I'll have to look into the nix package now being provided by Fedora and copy their tmpfiles file to create the /nix directory. Which would mean I could get rid of building my own image just for the /nix directory and can start using the official images...

(Not sure I can swap out the existing nix installation while keeping the nix store intact)

Desde hace ya un tiempo tengo una hiperfijación por NixOs, la distro de Linux.

La cuestión es que en mi portátil personal he estado usando Arch ya un tiempo [antes usaba Debian] y ahora me han entrado unas ganas locas de dejar de lado Arch e instalarme NixOs sin más experiencia previa que la vez que lo use como por 2 horas en una VM... Arch no me ha dado problemas serios nunca, pero me pica la mano cada que veo los residuos de algún paquete o todo el desorden que son mis configuraciones, ya no sé que es lo que he movido a cada cosa y a ratos me topo con que tengo instaladas cosas que no tengo ni idea de qué son o para que las descargué.

Soy medio obsesivo, creo.

Hoy luego de instalarmelo voy a trasnochar aprendiendo Nix y armando mi archivo de configuración.

Just an fyi when you're updating from 25.11 to 26.05, are using #libvirt and have been too lazy to properly setup your TPM (e.g. because you're using it for the other OS on a dual boot system)

Then it won't start after updating to 26.05 anymore thanks to some change in the systemd this gem here now shows up in the logs....

(virt-secret-init-encryption.service is a dependency of the libvirtd.service unit)

Anyone know how to configure the TPM so that it works for both OSes?
