It broke.

It's over. I thought you were the one.
NixOS

Samuel Wright
>building VLC and FFmpeg from source
Do that.
Josiah Scott
What the fuck are you talking about, schizo? FFmpeg had no build failures for years, and both VLC and FFmpeg are always required to build successfully before the update gets rolled out. You're using a patched FFmpeg somewhere in your config, or you're using a pre-release channel.

FFmpeg takes like an hour+ to build and I don't even know how long VLC takes. Ain't nobody got time for that. I'm literally being held hostage by VLC and FFmpeg. Nix says the below but still tries to build it anyways.
don't know how to build these paths:
/nix/store/vhwwn17k6769sf6flwi7wwzvnck5mbsq-gnome-shell-42.3.1
/nix/store/ydbkpqzs3zbixzy85l0dbgvi6iq5ccaj-libvlc-3.0.17.3
/nix/store/zsb9d1vkd8cll3p7q887jbn3mgbcf4id-ffmpeg-full-4.4.1
I'm sad. There are no good distros out there now.
Christopher Gomez
Slackware is a good distro retard
Daniel Brown
> good distros
1. Void
2. Alpine
3. Arch
4. Fedora
Depending on your needs.
Jaxon Morales
>meme distros
Ok keytard
Camden Campbell
Also Ubuntu if you’re into ML.
Jose Price
>It broke
Roll back then, retard
Gavin Jenkins
All distros are meme distros.
You are free to go back to windows or MacOS.
Chase Long
This path is in the cache. cache.nixos.org
Your internet connection is probably fucked. Try running the rebuild with --option narinfo-cache-negative-ttl 0 and next time don't use third world internet.
Logan Moore
NixOS does not force me to build ffmpeg from source. What did you do, retard?
Nolan Ortiz
some non-schizo mentally stable user explain this "build from source" meme please, why would any functional human being would waste his life with that schizo meme bs when you can download it and install and have THE SAME EXACT FUCKING PERFORMANCE
meds now.
Dylan Ward
>THE SAME EXACT FUCKING PERFORMANCE
This part is wrong, the rest was ok
Jordan Diaz
Never had this problem in a real distro with flatpak.
Hudson Barnes
slackware installation guide literally recommends you to install EVERYTHING because of how dogshit retarded and pointless manual dependency management is, how can you unironically claim that it's good?
Noah Gomez
Better performance isn't the goal in most cases. It's customization. Maybe your distro builds the package with a missing compile-time feature that you need. Maybe you fixed a bug in the package's source code and want to use that bugfix in your system, you can use a patch for that. NixOS is one of the few distros that make these kinds of modifications extremely easy while not requiring you to build everything else from source, like Gentoo does.
Luke Martin
this.
if it's broken rollback and figure out what's wrong OP
Kevin Wilson
>home-manager
Why blame NixOS for using a third-party module?
Oliver Bell
OP will complain about Arch because yaourt fucks up something.
Robert Foster
Unless you're Google or Netflix or similar, 1% difference is considered irrelevant.
Jaxson Gray
>good in theory
>joke meme in reality
close but not enough for any reasonable male human being to waste time into
Brody Ortiz
>get everything I'll ever need out of the box
>don't have to hunt through package repositories and tacked-on install methods like flatpak anymore
How is it not good
Dylan Richardson
Fedora breaks on updates every second week.
You're just used to it and think there's no problem to this.
Jackson Thomas
Eh, arch isn’t great, but still one of the best.
Personally, I can’t install anything that requires GPG keys, since import just fails with generic error.
Liam Perez
>like flatpak
never used flatpak in my life, kys
Bentley Scott
>Fedora breaks on updates every second week.
What broke in the last two weeks?
Justin Parker
Not him, but for me it breaks to a point of me needing to reinstall on every distro upgrade (with different issues on each system). Which is why I just moved back to Arch.
That said, regular updates never broke anything for me.
Tyler Flores
should have used Guix instead
or even better, a proper desktop OS like Debian
Dylan Nguyen
Any respectable male has patched software at least once in his life. Only brainlets and computer illiterates depend on repo jannies 100% of the time.
Jonathan Campbell
It was either gdm or gnome-shell.
Samuel Long
im a chad, I wont waste time on the broken os called linux, back to your cage nerd. NOW.
