Home manager and flakes is something optional in today’s NixOS. I don’t see any obvious use for a single-user home system. Of course, many people go the flakes-setup route. NixOS has many customization options, up to and including docker installation.

Oh, it’s very simple. Home-manager is something not yet finalized, optional and unofficial. Flakes was added in Nix 2.4, but you don’t have to use it all. You don’t want to add unnecessary complications. You can do without home-manager and flakes on a single-user machine. This is just one of the system configuration options. I have tried deploying the system with flakes/home-manager, done it with docker and even with nix-env. The performance gain is not noticeable.

This is the first time in 25 years of using Linux that I’ve changed distributions.

You’re exaggerating a little bit. Reddit is more alive than alive.

I can’t understand where you find so much porn.

Does anyone know where I can see porn that cats make?

Is this one of the endless hints that there is no karma in Lemmy? Have you seen the little up and down arrows under every post and comment? One of my comments recently got forty-five down arrows and I’ll see how many dislikes this comment gets.

The creators of Lemmy keep telling us about the “federation” of the social network. A federation is something that has a federal center that exercises a governing function.

Just because we all have not been informed of the existence of such a center does not mean that it does not exist.

I’ve gotten used to Slackware in 25 years.
