minus-squareCommunist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoI think nixos is harder than gentoo, plus you can do all the gentoo compile from source stuff on nixos
minus-squareitsjess@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoGenuinely curious cause i don’t know much nixos, does it support an equivalent to USE flags or slots?
minus-squareCommunist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-23 days agoI don’t know much about gentoo, but use flags sound a lot like overlays to me, but like I said, i’m not familiar with gentoo. nixos allows the install of various versions of software by default so slots are definitely a thing. It’s one of the main things nix wanted to fix.
