Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm in the same boat as you, but haven't tried making my own packages. Is there a guide somewhere I can follow?

    I mostly just searched nixos how to package pyrhon/go/rust/ program or nixos how to package sddm theme/gtk/...

    The best resource honestly are the randon blogposts since the wiki itself is really bad.

    I also recommend the channel vimjoyer.

    I also recommend to get into the habit of searching for options on https://search.nixos.org/options and for packages on https://search.nixos.org/packages which are great resources to know what you can set or install and already packages.

    You can also check my nixos config on examples for how to package sddm theme and shell scripts.

    I also have a couple programs on my selfhosted gitea that use flakes for packaging which you can checkout also.

    This is really useful. Thanks a lot! (Agree about the wiki).
