Why aren't you using NixOS?

>>57595425
Because I'm using Ubuntu(TM).

>>57595425
Because its unstable piece of shit

>>57595425
>systemd
>haslel
>nopkg

>>57595425
Because shells (like zsh) were not automatically added to the /etc/shells file, disabling me from installing oh_my_zsh. Also, it would mess with the XMonad configuration (wallpaper and more) without asking. Finally, there are like no packages for it.

After using it for over a year (switched to arch about 6 months ago) the one thing I liked about it was it's stability. When something broke, just roll back.

then you need this..

>>57595425
Because I'm still shilling Solus.

Because I'm not supporting more attempts to atomize the linux community.
Fucking spawn of Trotsky…

I would always choose guixsd over nixos, though.

>>57595938

I used a while back and not only that, the package servers seemed to always be down. So no packages or package server.

>>57595938
Why, though?

I don't think they know what "from scratch" means.

>>57596996
They really don't. They wrote a shit apt clone and cobbled together a DE that looks and functions like a mix of every other DE out there, it's not "from scratch" even if you're being generous.

>>57596996
They're just saying they architected the OS themselves, and aren't a meta-distribution like mint-debian.

>>57597130
>architected
lol

Because like every Linux-based toy OS the installation medium has no support for hardware with mixed-mode UEFI. Only serious OS's (Windows and OpenBSD) support such devices.

if you have to roll back then it's not stable
