PSA: DO NOT INSTALL xx.04 releases!!!

  • The .04 stands for “April”, commonly known for “April Fools”.
  • Many projects use the term “LTS”, meaning “Lies, Tricks, and Slander”. So called ‘Enterprise’ users often promote these releases to “own the noobs”. Be warned!

    Or just switch to Nix and finally witness some actually good package manager.

      Yeah, but I need to be able to actually do shit. Preferably in finite amounts of time.

      The Nix package manager can be installed on most distros.

      Keep in mind though:

      • GPU accelerated apps will require nixGL, or symlinking Nix’s Mesa to /run/opengl-drivers
      • Debian 12 has an ancient version of nix, and you need to first grab the nix binaries from the 24.11 channel. Newer channels do not support Debian’s nix
      • Fedora may require to disable SELinux. Otherwise it can be a real pain to properly configure nix

        Yep, I use it everywhere, that’s why I said Nix and not NixOS. I even use it on the company Windows machine inside WSL.

      Look at me I am running a package management system with atomic upgrades that can roll back, and indubitable sounds positively fabulous.
