NixOS is a lot of work for a single user with only a small number of devices. A lot of things work differently or strangely, and you really need to dive deep into doing things the Nix way for it to work. A good example of this is Python virtual environments. It is very much non-trivial to set up a Python virtual environment with libraries not in the Nix Packages repository. (Also, it breaks DOOM Emacs every time it updates.) I personally used it for 8 months on my gaming and work laptop. It made certain things (like setting up hybrid graphics for gaming) very easy, and it made other things that should have been simple needlessly difficult. The biggest disadvantage is that nothing is done in the proper Linux/UNIX way, and needs to be looked up online. This wouldn't be such a big deal if the documentation were good, but it is genuinely terrible. Many things are either entirely undocumented or are documented in some random blogpost, though some of it is in the (rather spotty) unofficial wiki, but the information is usually incomplete or unclear. But all of the above sources are united in being outdated and not useful.
And to be honest, even if the commits to bug fixes and new features were coming from Stalin, Polpot and Mao themselves, it doesn't matter. As long as they are safe and checked, improving the software, I couldn't care less. Did reiserfs become bad when the creator turned out to be a murderer? It's either a good piece of software or not. It does not depend on the reputation of the person who wrote it.

This should be a great lesson for any founder of any project. You have to make such a structure, that you have the sole rights to the name of the product. In such a situation, it SHOULD be possible to just fork the project, call it NixOS again and just leave the old NixOS foundation or whoever it was behind in shame and lost investors.

@@muhdiversity7409 whats a fascist, having a moderation policy and banning a person that repeatedly harasses and make other people unwelcome, by talking about things that are not pertinent to the project. You know like we did since moderation was " invented", 50 years ago. Come now , quit blowing it out of proportion WILDLY and go to the most extreme "conclusion" you could. I got names other got bans we disagreed with, this lying that the other are evil and I'm persecuted childishness is not going to fly , he sounds like every other bully that will not accept it and claims it everybody else, and he is treated so badly. I looked at the mails from him and others and the explanation they came with. And I can't conclude that or even disagree with the ban. Seem like a completely standard decision that went through a protocol and deliberation. And lunduke is pulling all the punches and blowing single comments out of proportion, like a snowflake. And spinning things wildly . I also took time to read some other of his posts, and his arguments are exacly what us that babe worked in hostile work environments battle with, the justification of silencing other people but by manipulator's that are good at framing. People don't have to be harsh on the surface they hide it to the superficial eye, and claim its them that has been wronged. And they are good at targeting and looking benign and even get support from outside neutral people, that is EXACTLY what they describe he does in their letter, well if i moderated it you would not get away with it just because you cover your negativity or harassment in smart manipulative ways . Beciase that behaviour is more damage than just loud rude behaviour everyone can easily see. Another issue is that manipulation is often causing an aggressive response from people after long time of harassment. And then often those that are the subject of harassment is blamed , beocase people look at the surface level instead of what is happening. Just like you do right now. Dont help and support the manipulator's.
I disagree. I think these activists should be able to do what ever they want with the code (as long as complies with the license). Let's see if they can do anything with it. I'm not confident they can contribute useful code, because that requires skills beyond the scope of activism, but I'm looking forward to be surprised.
@muhdiversity7409 freedom means freedom to think and do as you want, regardless of right or wrong. What it shows is that open source is nothing but a deluded dream.
Why was "Gender Minority" representation even needed? Like this is a coding project it doesn't matter what you identify as it doesn't make you anything special. The way i see it the people who disagreed just didn't see why such representation was needed they weren't discriminating and were certaintly not "Nazis". Also sorry if my english is kinda bad not really a native speaker but i have to say something this whole situation makes me so angry at how ridiculous it is.
It isn't supposed to make sense. It's supposed to confuse and demoralize you. As Voltaire wrote, “Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste.” Injustice is just the beginning.
I'm not anti trans or anything like that but identity politics like this makes my blood boil. Forcing people to comply and show support is a good way to breed resentment even if it's something the person was originally positive about
Historically, Antifa was to the German Communist Party (KPD) what the Sturmabteilung (SA) was for the Nazi party (NSDAP). KPD and NSDAP were bitter enemies not because their politics were opposite (basically, the only difference were that the former believed in internationalism and the latter were German chauvinists - other elements of the program were based on the same socialist ideas), they were fighting each other because their main support came from common workers.
It seemed like the perfect blend of immutable and tinkering, so I ended up installing it on my laptop. Installation took ages, ok that's fine, you only have to do it once. Start adding packages to get basic stuff working, also slow, but bearable. I want hardware video decode, so I install the needed intel-media-codecs or whatever it's called. It doesn't work because the files are in a weird Nix-specific path instead of where VAAPI looks for them, I end up doing a sudo ln -s to fix that. I wanted to use a different LightDM greeter that wasn't already packaged for Nix, so I decide to try doing it myself. I've packaged stuff for multiple other package managers, how hard could it be, it's just a basic cmake project on GitHub. I tried following docs and also using a script to generate the package file skeleton, neither of which got me anywhere near a working package or even understanding the nixpkgs package file format. I would rate it pointless/10.
NixOS founder must be quite the wimp. If I'm on a project, and some group within that project crafts a resignation letter in my name, and they further tell me that I MUST sign it, lets just say that your story would have a much more exciting ending.
You won't see any other tech journalists covering this story, because they will lose their ad revenue. Lunduke is the only one who can get away with this, all because of memberships and donations.
Bro you really think TH-cam is on the side of queers? Any video about some controversial theme gets demonetized as they want to prevent incidents with advertisers, trans TH-camrs get hit just as much if not even more. There is no grand conspiracy, just greedy people, some who want money, some who want validation (these "allies"), some who want influence, etc.
I'd like to see him cite some sources for this story, because when I Googled it, he was the only source which popped up. Without collaboration from independent sources, that makes the story suspicious--to me, anyway.
It is so funny how they operate exactly like the group they claim to fight. They are the bane of the western civilization... Lunduke at the frontline, thanks for that.
These people don't speak for every gay or trans person. Writing comments like this is just inflammatory and hateful. "They are the bane of western civilization" bro you the problem too.
Palestine/Israel is too present in lefty discourse at the moment. Palestine activism takes precedent over LGBT stuff (see queers for palestine protestors and leftist white women wearing keffiyehs and joining prayers). The lefties will just excuse the brown guy being homo/transphobic because 'welp he's brown and third world so what do you expect... CEASEFIRE NOW!'
Muslims like transhumans. It's a kind of hidden homophobia. To avoid having to admit they have a homosexual child, they prefer to have it "sex changed".
NixOS always sounded cool, but something indescribable always rubbed me the wrong way. Glad I never switched to it. It's probably far, far too late, but I sure hope they can cut out this political "rotten flesh".
I do not find other people's sexual orientation something particularly interesting or relevant, nor do consider it a reason for pride. I fact, I even remember when pride used to be considered a deadly sin. I miss those times.
Yea.. You can be proud of your children or your work but being proud of where you were born, your race, nationality, sexual preference is beyond stupid.
Pride month and whatnot exists as a celebration of not giving in to oppression, so I disagree with your remarks about pride. I think that its not reasonable to classify these people as "political activists." It doesn't benefit trans people to ban contributors for failure to adhere to draconian policies or for questioning such policies, thus these people are not acting with political intent and instead with the apparent intent of being bullies.

Terry Davis not having networking on TempleOS was a good idea. Probably a sign for other people and operating systems to go ahead and remove networking from their kernels as well.
This whole DEI BS is in itself discriminatory. Value must be given on merit (a person skills, competency, etc) not based on what one identifies with. This will backfire on them in a huge blaze.

You're missing out
@@dimplick Are you sure about that?
@@dimplick fickdimp
Do try nix. nix and NixOS is two different thing.
Alpine or Arch or Gentoo + Nix would be closest alternative to NixOS.
NixOS is a lot of work for a single user with only a small number of devices. A lot of things work differently or strangely, and you really need to dive deep into doing things the Nix way for it to work.
A good example of this is Python virtual environments. It is very much non-trivial to set up a Python virtual environment with libraries not in the Nix Packages repository.
(Also, it breaks DOOM Emacs every time it updates.)
I personally used it for 8 months on my gaming and work laptop. It made certain things (like setting up hybrid graphics for gaming) very easy, and it made other things that should have been simple needlessly difficult.
The biggest disadvantage is that nothing is done in the proper Linux/UNIX way, and needs to be looked up online. This wouldn't be such a big deal if the documentation were good, but it is genuinely terrible. Many things are either entirely undocumented or are documented in some random blogpost, though some of it is in the (rather spotty) unofficial wiki, but the information is usually incomplete or unclear. But all of the above sources are united in being outdated and not useful.
Damn, I didn't know those evil germans were still around 80 years later. Contributing to Linux at their age is quite impressive.

Seem for all the memes arch Linux is where it is at
It seemed like the perfect blend of immutable and tinkering, so I ended up installing it on my laptop. Installation took ages, ok that's fine, you only have to do it once. Start adding packages to get basic stuff working, also slow, but bearable. I want hardware video decode, so I install the needed intel-media-codecs or whatever it's called. It doesn't work because the files are in a weird Nix-specific path instead of where VAAPI looks for them, I end up doing a sudo ln -s to fix that. I wanted to use a different LightDM greeter that wasn't already packaged for Nix, so I decide to try doing it myself. I've packaged stuff for multiple other package managers, how hard could it be, it's just a basic cmake project on GitHub. I tried following docs and also using a script to generate the package file skeleton, neither of which got me anywhere near a working package or even understanding the nixpkgs package file format. I would rate it pointless/10.

This is a pretty impressive social hack. Those activists need to be named and shamed, this whole trans stuff is insanity. Who are those board members as well that went along with this stupidity?
Please don't conflate trans people with the idiots responsible for this.
Jeez... The only place of refuge it seems is back to the abacus.
This is out of control.
Why do politics ruin amazing software
'There will be no politics allowed at the school'
'Opens new school book and political stickers fall out of it'
We go on denying that there's a mental health issue with people who identify like this, out of a sense of being fair-minded, and then these narcissistic tendencies come out and show themselves, and we say 'it's so insane, how could this have happened?' Because it is insane. You can't just gloss over a problem pretend it's not there and then when the consequences come, we keep denying....
Or you could look further into the situation instead of taking one person's perspective as gold
Is this microsoft or IBM or some foreign actor attacking linux?
Apparently google, but probably all of the above.
How the duck do these guys keep getting kicked out of their own projects by a bunch of obviously malicious infiltrators?
We need a NixOS "Nazis Only" fork to make up for this.
Do we?
No
^
Uh, let's not.
That's the one that currently exists, we need a fork without these nazis.
Thanks for the summary, this was the only video I found covering this on YT. I’m disappointed and disheartened.
OSS should transcend politics but maybe I’m just old now?
look where tolerance has brought us
I just set up all my systems to use NixOS. It is a great ecosystem, too bad the boards of open source foundations tend to be subverted by insane people - just look at the rust foundation and the drama around that. Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile....
NixOS was great, hopefully someone makes a genuine competitor without this insanity.
@@mckendrick7672 GNU Guix. Not great if you need anything non-free, but still usable.
what to do when linux is "broken" through this and Windows is shitty too? BSD?
The biggest problem is all these projects are monolithic, so once the corruption sets in you have to make a huge change to escape. The best option would be to push for a microkernel like RedoxOS - perhaps even push for RedoxOS itself and fork it if they go the same direction. A microkernel is infinitely more manageable by the community than a monolithic kernel.
gnu hurd lol
@@mckendrick7672if you think Redox os won't end up horribly woke you're sadly mistaken. It's a rust project...
@@carnivorebear6582 There does appear to be a large woke element to the Rust "community", but Rust undeniably has merits, and the point still stands that a microkernel is far more manageable as a fork than a monolithic kernel. At this point there are woke elements to so many of these things that you just have to pick and choose your battles.
@@mckendrick7672 what like their code of conduct saying someone needs to get better at writing code is 'bad' and the goal of the project is to have a compiler that will make code usable no matter how badly written so 'evil coding skills' doesn't discriminate against 'minority groups'? rust is as it states on the tin. a degradation of things.
I mean, calling them Nazi because their mindset is different ? How far have we fallen.
Given that this continues, they have killed NixOS.
It's sad. NixOS was brilliant. The founder is brilliant, I hope he finds a way to create something better. I'm not installing that again...
TransOs will have a lot of back doors. Just a thought...
What's with the weirdos always gravitating towards IT.
Programming is inherently an intelligent male-dominated space. They can't create or produce anything of value so they have to worm their way in, seize what men produce, and then ruin it.
