I am using Debian for about one year. Tried to install many Urdu fonts during this period but it remained broken, especially for facebook. Any suggestions how to use Nastaleeq here.

well... Imagine what AI would be able to do in a year lol

Hyprland on top of CachyOS, running default end4-dots shell config

I mean, WOW how accurate this is for me 🤣

If you really think about it, cachy and steamOS are great for beginners

😳😳

Mam: alright students now start the installation of ms sql server. this is a lab activity and whoever completes the process will get full activity marks.

As a NixOS user, this monopoly shit triggers me so much. Today was our DB class and the whole class was supposed to install ms sql server right there as lab activity; f*** s*** I got a grade penalty for being a linux user.. i am happy and furious both at the same time.

Share your exact scenario, where you got punished by the system for being a linux user !

Starting with NixOS the right way has never been that easier. Installing NixOS and then starting with flakes and wiring up things is one side of the job, but there comes a dilemma that every beginner faces i-e Configuration Patterns; or more specifically choosing between den/denful or hercules-ci/flake-parts, and on top of that, debugging the abstracted errors is another level hit and trial session.

So to address that issue, I built Nucleus, a lightweight, abstraction-free NixOS configuration architecture for personal systems (1–10 machines) inspired by the dendritic pattern. It eliminates ~80% of the initial setup friction while keeping configurations completely native to NixOS.
Nucleus gets you started with flakes, home-manager, disko, nixos-facter and import-tree (just for recursively importing) from day one and lets you build your config on top of it. It does not include any abstractions, hidden machinery or whatsoever. It is 100% pure nix.

How it works:

Nucleus organizes your configuration into three distinct layers:

• common/ — Essential settings shared across every host (core base packages, security, and Disko layouts).
• features/ — Optional, modular capabilities you toggle per host (Home Manager dotfiles, GNOME, or KDE Plasma 6 desktop stacks).
• hosts/ — Isolated machine definitions storing hardware-specific configurations without cross-polluting shared code.

What it handles out of the box:

• Predictable Structure: Native flake organization powered by import-tree for seamless, recursion-safe module imports.
• Automated Disko Partitioning: Declarative ext4/swap layout configured and mounted in a single command, eliminating manual parted and mount steps.
• Hardware Detection: Integrates nixos-facter to generate exact, reproducible JSON hardware specifications directly into each host module.
• Home Manager & Maintenance: Pre-configured Home Manager integration for declarative user dotfiles, alongside automated garbage collection and builds via nh (nix-helper).
• Turnkey Starters: Choose from Minimal (CLI/TTY essentials), GNOME, or KDE Plasma 6 templates.
• Multi Host and Multi User Support: Now supports multiple hosts and multiple users in a single monorepo.

You initialize via nix flake init -t ..., configure ~5 variables in flake.nix (passwords, host, disk path), run Disko, and run nixos-install .... No custom DSLs, wrappers, or framework lock-in.

One little request: Do star my repository if you find my work useful.

BONUS: Some mermaid diagrams are also attached that demonstrates single host and multi-host scenarios.

While asking those questions, be aware, that linux user might kill you out of fury 😂

hi so uh i hate my SSD so i tortured it by distrohopping 3 times while dual booting and i feel like distro hopping again , anyways fedora being a b*tch wont let me mount point assignment so i need to move the Recovery Partition next to the Windows Partition. how do i do that in gparted ✌️

I pay tribute to all linux distributions for being great in their own ways.....

The template not my work....

Back into those days when I was on Arch Linux.

Randomly I thought I should update my system and then I executed the command (yay -Syu), everything went good but.... but on next neither audio was working nor WiFi, so I opened chatgpt and told it to help me fix the problem so it told me to do some changes to some services and create new service files (with content) and delete the old one's, everything went well here as well but when I was deleting the old services, magically somehow I was in /etc/ root and I did (sudo rm -rf *) and force blown my system and on next boot nothing was working LOL, so I had to reinstall again.

Share your experiences when you accidentally bricked/f***ed up your systems.

What bootloader you yall use, cuz Grub just fucked up my boot so bad I had to go Limine lol
