Adam<p>On a fresh M4 air. Had a good time with determinate.systems for Nix but wondering if there is another option I should consider <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nix</span></a></p>
Feoh<p>Welp. I would say this experiment is an unqualified success.</p><p>I now have <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/nixos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nixos</span></a> latest running on the 2009 Macbook Pro, including the finicky Broadcom wifi drivers.</p><p>Next question: Will it be too slow to be of any use?</p><p>It takes about 30s for <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>firefox</span></a> to load and about 2m to do a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nix</span></a> rebuild.</p><p>I guess only time will tell :)</p>

Alexia ΘΔno alt, asking for help with nix(OS)
A.B. Murrow<p>Just wrapped up a blog post about my recent experience contributing to NixOS and nixpkgs. It was great to help bring Drupal to such a unique a Linux distribution and that experience helped me learn a ton about reproducible operating systems design.</p><p>It also helped me realize that using NixOS as a all-in-one solution for building and deploying simple webservers could be a big win for the web and web publishers if implemented correctly.</p><p><a href="https://abmurrow.com/blog/using-drupal-nixos" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abmurrow.com/blog/using-drupal</span><span class="invisible">-nixos</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/NixOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NixOS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nix</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nixpkgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nixpkgs</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Drupal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drupal</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blog</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Lix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lix</span></a></p>

NixOS<p>It is with great excitement that we are launching this years <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/nix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nix</span></a> community survey.</p><p><a href="https://survey.nixos.org/759934" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">survey.nixos.org/759934</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>We are conducting this survey to improve our understanding of the community and better support various teams. This year we have questions from the Nix Team, the StdEnv Team, the Steering Committee, and the Foundation which will help inform the work they do for the project.</p><p>As always, the survey is anonymous. Aggregated statistics and major findings will be published on Discourse.</p>

I am thinking about using Nix on my MacBook Air to just consoludate my flake and mental overhead.</p><p>I am mainly using my MacBook air for school. There are just a couple of programs that won't work on my Linux lapto, Microsoft Office Suite and Tableau. I am very relieved that there are provided packages that support Apple and not just exclusively Windows.</p>
