From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The world of Linuxia beckons you! Your annoying guide flexes their gear the moment you spawn

Gentoo USB (Rare):
=> USE flags: Can rebuild itself
   with or without the other
   three attributes
=> March native: Increases attack
   speed by 1% or -1%
=> Slot: Can use two versions of any
   attribute at the same time
=> PGO: The USB memorizes when you
   attack to increase speed, trading
   off for lower speed elsewhen.
   Requires two rebuilds.

Charm of systemd (common):
=> nspawn: Can build with deeper focus
=> Wisdom tax: The wise are less
   likely to feel neutral toward you
   (+2 or -2 charisma)
=> Chant of systemd: By chanting
'systemd-analyze calendar "Fri *-*-13"',
   the caster instantly knows when
   the next Friday the 13th is.

Let's have some fun! Spells, items, and dungeons oh my!

Food item: Nix Flakes (rare)
- +10 health per flake
- + Contains a large amount of packages when combined with Nixpkgs (uncommon)
- + Reproducible: farm it yourself!
- - Each flake takes between 5 seconds and 2 hours to compile and take effect
- - Requires good internet connection
- - Significantly slows down NixOS dotfile spells.
Weapon: Neovim Lua Gun (uncommon)
- +144 damage
- + Rewrite config files
- - Can only activate weapon once. Afterwards, you're stuck using it forever.
- - Requires XP level 1337 to be used efficiently
Weapon: NixOS USB (uncommon)
- + Makes computer unusable for any sane person
- + Reproducible: install any system you want and then replace it with another one for fun
- - Most people in Linuxia are not sane so this weapon is rarely effective
Spell: NixOS dotfiles (rare)
- rm -rf ./.git: self-destruct: deals +infinity damage to the user, +169 damage to nearby enemies.
- cat flake.nix: Ejects what is effectively a zip bomb. Cannot be used twice against the same enemy. Deals +196 damage to nearby enemies.
- nixos-rebuild ...: Refreshes stamina, +5 health to the user. If used incorrectly, will cause a random negative effect, but never fatal. Requires waiting for 15 seconds, unless Nix Flakes were recently used, then it requires at least 2 hours of waiting.
Armor: SDDM (common)
- +40 charisma
- +20 defense
- +10 health
- - Buggy sometimes
Accessory: Waybar Crown (uncommon)
- +120 charisma
- +5 health
- + People will ask you for your dotfiles

Edit: fixed formatting

Edit 2: slightly cooler names and abilities

Your bullet formatting is disarrayed btw ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

I'd imagine these options being unlock-only. You have to travel between multiple wiki dungeons and blog towns to evolve your item c;

(Now I want nix flake cornflakes)

Now the formatting is fixed
