A small update from the software front: I left NixOS. I'm back with a Debian
|
||
|
|
machine, or to be more precise, my Frankenbian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"But why?" you may ask.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Well, the answer is quite simple. I need a stable operating system on my
|
||
|
|
workstation, which has to have properly working 3D-hardware acceleration. In the
|
||
|
|
weeks before my switch back, This was no longer the case and nobody could help
|
||
|
|
me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But this all does not mean I abandoned NixOS as a whole or think less of the
|
||
|
|
project. I still believe it is a very cool concept for an operating system and
|
||
|
|
package management and will gladly revisit it, when things are more stable and
|
||
|
|
mature, but for now I only maintain a small virtual machine with a NixOS
|
||
|
|
installation to run my NixOps deployments.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During my endeavours of switching back I unfortunately lost some data
|
||
|
|
(e.g. pgp keys), so I updated data where needed. This prompted me to think of
|
||
|
|
a proper paper backup solution for sensitive data. Maybe I'll come up with some
|
||
|
|
acceptable workflow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also setting up my laptop anew prompted me to plan new blogposts, especially
|
||
|
|
about full-disk-encryption and my NixOps setup. These will follow in the future.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So long and thanks for all the fish.
