cabal: "you can't install this library you need for your project because you don't have the openGL library for C"

sabayon fucking sucks, and I'm sick of it...
I'm going to grab a USB and switch back to nixos, because I've had enough of this
computer conundrum
I need an extra 200GB of space to be able to backup stuff to move back to nixos
computer conundrum
and if I don't do this, I can't work on the project I wanted to...

@lizardsquid if you do swap to nixos, I hope you'll talk about it because I always wondered if it was any good.

@kyzh oh, it is very good
I used it for years, and switched away because I was having a specific issue that I thought wouldn't be a problem on other versions of linux
turns out: it's still a problem, and other versions of linux have way way more problems and frustrations

@lizardsquid is the package management making the difference or is it the whole os that is well maintained/integrated?
computers are bad
@kyzh it's both - part of why NixOS causes less problems is that you can just rollback changes which break things, and because the ENTIRE OS is declarative and reproducable, it's usually pretty easy for people to reproduce your problem and fix it

@lizardsquid people say storage is cheap, but I've never had a hard drive I haven't filled to capacity one way or another shortly after acquiring it

...there isn't enough space on my backup thing for my home folder
