One dot to rule them all!

Ahh I see, then it’ll be an honor to copy from a true programmer.

Lol.

Isn’t the launcher backup the “dots” for this?

True. I've made some minor changes since the original post and the only issue I have is having to replace my weather widget. Kvaesitso actually prompts me to replace, so it is a one tap move. Really cool that Kvaesitso is smart enough to do so!

Feel free to steal the idea. I stole it from another post somewhere in here myself. 😄 We can only dream of dots. Maybe when the Linux phone becomes a thing?

No, it's more tongue-in-cheek. 🤥 You unfortunately can't, but what I do is export the backup of Kvaesitso from my tablet, sync it with syncthing to my phone, and then restore the backup on my phone. Despite not having all the apps on my phone that I have on my tablet, it loads perfectly. Any apps that are not listed just get ignored and there are no broken icons/links. So it very loosely is like my NixOS setup, getting two different Android versions to feel similar. That's the most uniform method I have been able to come up with.

True, it's shockingly simple sometimes, and other times I feel like I need to be a rocket scientist. Emphasis on "feel" because in those instances, there is nothing to go by for documentation.

I am hoping that shortly after mine can read & write, and I add a machine with NixOS for them to use, they will exceed my understanding of nix and start to teach me. 🤔

I switched from Arch to NixOS around Nov 2023 and manage my systems and my family's off of one flake. Dotfiles are managed within my flake (if easier), an exception would be Emacs, which I use syncthing between my Nix systems and a work Windows PC with straight.

Discourse, Discord/Matrix, the wiki and various blogs are places to learn from. Documentation is sometimes difficult to splice together, other times very intuitive, but others can help direct you. Just leave some lead time for people to get back to you.

If you can figure out how to do gaming on Arch, you can figure it out on NixOs. Add to you config or flake slowly and back it up somehow before making changes, along with important files. You can always rollback or if you do manage to nuke it (I have twice due to lack of HD memory), reinstall and be up and running in a short time frame as long as you have your config somewhere.

I've done more on NixOS in a shorter time than I ever had on Arch, but also learned a lot from Arch which helped. Try it out on an old machine or VM to see what you can do with it. I've plateaued at getting a server up and running, and ricing hyprland, but that is due to lack of time and close to zero knowledge.

You bet! I use it all the time, plus you can enter channels, which for the life of me, I cannot understand why Roku never allowed a long press on their reomte in order to enter a channel number with the arrows. 🎶Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb!🎶

Hopefully sideloading becomes a thing for iOS users. Used to have an iPhone, can't say I miss it.

Thanks, I'd like to understand appimage tools, and nixified Docker / Podman to start up a headless server, but they all seem pretty difficult for me right now.

If anyone is interested, it looks like there is https://github.com/gmodena/nix-flatpak. Will try it out soon.
