From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

If OP wanted a response from an LLM, they would have typed their question into an LLM. The least you could do is label it as such.

I use an LLM to edit everything I write. Does this mean I have to label everything as LLM-generated? Although I am the one doing the job, in the end, I'm just copy-pasting the output from the LLM.

Rule or not, it's pretty lame, look at the size of your post compared to how much info it gives, had you copied a article from some basic linux news stite, it would have given mostly the same output, now think about what linking a page to an article about nixos as a response to op trying to start a conversation about it would look like, rude.

May I invite you to consider the pitfalls of such an approach?

Does this mean I have to label everything as LLM-generated?

Yes, that would be reasonable imo

Using an LLM to autocorrect your own words is not the same as copy-pasting an LLM response.

I'll type things up and ask an LLM like petals or open assistant to phrase it in new or clearer way. Hit or miss, but sometimes it helps.

Why don't you label your name in every answer, so we can check if you are hallucinating or making things up?

Why don’t you label your name in every answer

You mean like a username that is listed in the header of every post and comment?
