  • Dad: NixOS
  • Mom: Arch
  • Firstborn: NixOS
  • Middle Child: Fedora
  • Youngest: Puppy Linux

How'd I do?

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 66 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's almost exactly it! Puppy Linux represents the dog, who would run Puppy Linux if anyone would think to get a computer for her

[–] funkajunk@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Puppy Linux

It would be the hand-me-down of all hand-me-downs, but it would be the most optimized machine that has ever existed.

NixOS is the dad and the son? Literally God

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Like father, like son.

[–] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Like holy spirit

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

As above, so below

[–] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is it the third child using Puppy Linux, or do they just have a dog, though?

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 months ago

Maybe the dog is using Puppy Linux?

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 2 points 6 months ago

We have a dog

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

i think it's evolution

[–] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 44 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I use NixOS and NixOS BTW

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 23 points 6 months ago

I also have a "btw" decal to go with this. I haven't put it on because I'm not sure about including it.

It's me and my older child who use NixOS btw

[–] Speiser0@feddit.org 34 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So, you're driving arch btw?

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 38 points 6 months ago (3 children)

My wife is. Well, I'm stretching the truth a little - she actually uses Manjaro.

I was going to say we don't have any of these distros in the car, but technically I do have Nix on my phone - there's a fork of Termux that puts Nix in a user space sandbox. And the phone does connect to the car. The only piece missing Android Auto integration for the nix command.

I understand not wanting your car windows shattered

You're going to mention this exists but not say what it is? My disappointment is immeasurable!

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I guess she doesn't like AUR haha

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Manjaro can access AUR just fine. I don't use it but that much is true

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 1 points 6 months ago

Except it's notoriously known for not working correctly with Manjaro specifically unless that's been resolved and I'm OOTL.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Is this how your partition table looks like and when was the last time you updated that one other nix?

[–] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

One of us! One of us!

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Had me in the first half ngl...

Nice car
Edit: is this a Hyundai or a Mercedes? 😂

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's a Chevy Bolt

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wow, I was way off.

[–] hallettj@leminal.space 2 points 6 months ago

Lol! I think it's a nice car because it's the car I've always wanted: a small electric hatchback.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

Oh, I thought spotted Linux was a British delicacy or something.
