Try installing something from homebrew.
Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.
Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again
rebuild_intelTower_withUpdate() { ./home/scripts/pullrelease.sh nix flake update sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#intelTower --impure --show-trace nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage --impure --show-trace activateHM }
impure? :(
It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕
I personally use a patch on my nix that allows to evaluate a thunk for the inputs, and have every input in a different file. https://github.com/flafydev/combined-manager
thanks so much for sharing. I’ll give it a look.
This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I’d never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then
Is there a big reason to use
apt-get
instead of justapt
? I don’t think I’ve ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.It’s used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.
… wait?
Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?
apt-get is used in scripting.
apt isnt recommended to be used in scripting.
I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?
I already completed Linux From Scratch once 20 years ago for shits and giggles. I want to actually use my system, thanks.
