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

me: *checks the package manager*

*the openGL library for C is installed*

me: ... fuck

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

@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
