I'm not blocking that script and it's still looks like that for me.

Apricity OS: A Beautiful Arch Linux Distro

Re: Apricity OS: A Beautiful Arch Linux Distro
#12Arch is becoming more and more a foundation distro.
Yes and this is great. I have felt Ubuntu to be way too bloated ( last time I checked it had many python scripts running by default on startup ) and Debian is hard to use on the desktop ( "stable" is too slow, "testing" is too unstable ). Arch will make a better foundation distro IMO.
There's always Fedora which has gotten better and better the last couple releases.
But I like Arch too. I just switched away from it because I got tired of things breaking if I wasn't religiously upgrading.

#13Eh, new defaults configurations do NOT merit a new distro. I've long believed this, and since I discovered NixOS it is now clear that there is away to avoid it.
Re: Apricity OS: A Beautiful Arch Linux Distro
#14An Arch system with defaults is not an Arch system.
The beauty of Arch is that you set it up from head to toe, so you only have the things you need most. And if something breaks, you're more likely to be able to fix it.
Accept no substitute. Vanilla Arch forever.
(I accept that some people don't care about how the sausages are made. In that case, use Fedora or Debian or Ubuntu, in order of similarity to Arch.)

That doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't more things break if you only updated them every six months and had to retest the whole system rather than the parts that changed as you went along.
I found that upgrading Ubuntu/Debian to the next release always screwed everything up as basically all the packages changed. Heck fedora couldn't even update to the next release until fed up came out.

#17Strange that they include Pushbullet, and advertise it so prominently, which is not a free service anymore and was the subject of a huge controversy when they cut features.
Re: Apricity OS: A Beautiful Arch Linux Distro
#18So grab gnome, pusbullet, a dock, paper theme, powerline and maybe play on linux, profit?
I guess it's oriented at people who isn't used to Linux and want a pretty OS to play with, or people too lazy to do it themselves :p

#19Ugh, can we please stop using "beautiful" to describe user interfaces?

Seriously though, it's such a cop out and it cheapens whatever you're trying to sell.

How do you use NixOS to manage your OS and applications and configurations? I thought it was for having reliable reproducable builds?
