What is the Fedora experience like?
For comparing package versions across distros, I like https://repology.org/. Fedora's official online package search is https://packages.fedoraproject.org/.

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
fwiw nixpkgs has significantly more packages than arch (including the aur), and those packages are also significantly more up to date. No other repo comes close to nixpkgs in this regard. This has been the case for quite some years now.

Package repo question, availability of packages
I think available package number is a bit of an exaggeration. looking at the statistics, the most packages are on nixOS. but there are other topics such as number of maintainers, update and stability. so middle ground is debian testing and arch. i suggest repology.org to look stats

Couple of noob questions
I believe it likely was a comparision in number of packages, currently nixpkgs outnumber AUR (although it also contains packages that are part of other languages): https://repology.org/

Linux Software Map
I guess the modern equivalent of that would be https://repology.org/
Although the focus is on the version aspect, so descriptions are a bit hidden and I'm not sure they're searchable.

ubuntu-debullshit! Script to get vanilla gnome, remove snaps, flathub and more on Ubuntu
I know that "number of packages" isn't a perfect metric, but going by that Nixpkgs is the largest (see https://repology.org/).

Is it possible to install older versions of XFCE (such as 4.14)
to find a distro still supporting that version you can use https://repology.org/ or https://pkgs.org

I hope nobody has done that
FreeBSD also has its own ports system which has 29678 (source: repology.org) packaged project.

Remembrance, a reminder app for Linux
According to repology nix is third place in term of the number of maintainers.

I use NixOS for my home-server, and you should too!
As we covered in my last post, NixOS is a amazing Linux distribution for creating stable and declared environments. Now while this is amazing for a desktop setup, it is also perfect for a home-server or home-lab.

Tvix β A New Implementation of Nix
(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)

Colima k8s nix setup
Nix is a cross-platform package manager. It uses the nix programming language. Nix and NixOs are often used in the same context, but while the first is a package manager, the latter is a linux distribution based on nix.

NixOs - Your portable dev enviroment
Today I want to talk to you about Nixos. What is it? Nixos is a declarative and reproducible OS, partly taking the words used on their own page. What does that mean?

Nix β A One Pager
Software developers often want to customize:
1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).
2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.
3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.
Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):
- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI in prod,
- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction,
- reliable: all changes are atomic with easy roll back.

Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers
Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Ask HN: Could Nix make crypto mining more efficient?
- it reduces bloat, because you can generate an environment or OS image with only the software needed to run a specific program or service
My guess is that a big efficiency gain would come from the second point, because you don't waste CPU on code that you don't use.
Does this make sense? Has anyone explored this?

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
1) Setting up the development environment - I currently use devcontainers for most things, but may also dig into nix -> isolated, portable, repeatable development environment 2) Exploring Echo - understand routing, requests, response, etc. 3) Incorporate Templ - integration with Echo, template composition, etc. 4) Integrating TailwindCSS - config for use with Echo/Templ, development cycle, deployment, etc. 5) Add in HTMX - endpoints, template structure, concepts, etc. 6) hyperscript for interactivity - client side interactivity
