Linux Is Best<p><span>Trying to make this "stupid, smart". <br><br>Or, to put it another way, trying to word this in away that a dumb people knowing nothing, can understand this, and feel smart once they have read it. But while trying to keep it really simple, without being overwhelming.</span></p><blockquote><span>NixOS is an operating system, and an operating system is the software user interface that allows you to use your computer. An example would be, Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, Linux, and BSD. <br><br>NixOS particularly is a Linux-based operating system. NixOS, like Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS, can offer an easy-to-use, graphic user interface (GUI). A common and popular GUI for Linux is called, KDE Plasma. KDE Plasma, offers a very easy-to-use, point and click, environment, similar to Windows or Apple, but not identical, including a control panel (called, Settings), for most of your commonly used settings.<br><br>But for the more in-depth settings, NixOS is not like most Linux-based operating systems. In fact, it can be easier to use because, NixOS uses 1 master file to configure nearly everything, except for the previously mentioned common settings which are still conveniently controlled in KDE Plasma.<br><br>This master configuration file is located at: /etc/nixos/configuration.nix<br><br>For previous Apple macOS users, this file path will be easy to understand. But for those of you coming from Microsoft Windows, unlike, Microsoft Windows, which file path would have been: <br><br>C:\etc\nixos\configuration.nix<br><br>Linux, like macOS and BSD use<br><br>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix<br><br>Meaning, you do not use a drive letter, and instead of a backlash \ you use a forward slash /<br><br>Fun fact: Microsoft Windows, is the only mainstream operating system, which has not yet adapted this universal standard, and under the hood, even mobile devices such as Apple iOS and Android, use this directory path structure.<br><br>Additionally, what separates NixOS from many other Linux developments is it an immutable Linux distribution (distro). Meaning, the root system is protected and also recoverable, meaning if something were to go wrong, you can reboot and select the previous save. This makes NixOS more secure, stable, and easier to recover if anything were to go wrong.</span></blockquote><a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/NixOs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NixOs</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Nix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nix</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Documentation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Documentation</a><p></p>
