Is this the place to discuss different CPU governors?
I didnāt yet install NixOS, and a GUI-oriented flavor sounds just like what I am looking for. What would be the best way to get started?
I would hesitate to call this a distro. In spirit, it is more of a flavour.
NixOS is a meta-distribution, like Gentoo. It doesnāt have a default software environment or desktop experience or anything like that.
So maybe we can consider SnowflakeOS a distribution of NixOS that tries to fill in some of those ādefaults gapsā as well as providing supplementary tooling.
I donāt think that going separate distribution is the right way. I get the argument that one canāt expect the new user to be able to bootstrap a configuration program into the config that itās supposed to manage, but I also think thereās much more practical ways of achieving the same goal. For example, the program can exist as a regular package for a while during initial development phases, then it can be distributed as a flatpack to be actually used by new users once itās practically viable, and then once it gets enough traction it should just become included into every NixOS distribution.
Yes, this, I believe would be valuable.
I actually installed this, I think it should have home manager with a UI
Great idea. Nix solves a lot of package management problems in Linux. Something lacking is a graphical interface to make it usable. SnowflakeOS seams to fill that gap. It has a lot of potential, and could be one of the most promising linux projects.
I wish to use SnowflakeOS, when is going to be ready?
