  • Ay, thanks for answering! I need some help understanding this😅

    there is usually only one of nixos and home manager options (sometimes there are duplicates).

    This means usually I only have to add options only in home.nix or configuration.nix, not both. (What about options in flakes.nix? Should I search those on the flakes/options tab?)

    As for flakes I mostly use it to handle a bunch of different systems from one config and any flake specific configs.

    Would it be the same if I put the system packages in flakes.nix instead of configuration.nix? Will it have a different result? Will I have to write them differently?

    Extra questions:

    1. Does putting a package in home.nix have the same version control flakes provides?

    2. Once I enabled home-manager, I saw that in ~/.config/nixos a flakes.nix and a home.nix files appeared. I already have a flake.nix and a home.nix files in my etc/nixos directory. What’s going on?

    3. Does putting packages in configuration.nix use the version control flakes provide?

    Heyy, I’m too in the process of moving from windows (10) to debian :) (though I’m very new to linux, but not new to open source software)

    I was surprised that notepad++ didnt have native support for linux and while I tried many stuff, indeed I couldnt find a real replacement. I have kinda concluded that I will either use bottles with wine to run notepad++ (takes around half a minute to open) or use Geany and try to customize it as much as I can. (There are also Notepadqq which is kinda dead and NotepadNext which is still in very early stage.) I’ll probably go with Geany and chech on NotepadNext if it evers becomes good enough.

    I had a recent post about running windows stuff on linux and people gave me some good advice here: https://mander.xyz/post/18701186

    Edit: I just found Textadept, might check it later (found it from a comment under this video).
