I am a distro-hopper, have yet to find my thing. I’ve recently been trying out NixOS, but decided to give something else a try, so after a lot of digging i landed on this KDE spin, which is based of the Bluefin Project. However, after having installed it via your typical installation of ISO Writer -> USB -> Install. I saw, after I booted up the new OS, that “nixos” had remained in the label of my SSD. Was wondering if this is an intentional thing or a bug?

Have a nice day 🌻

    How did you install nixos? The labels for disks and partitions are usually set during creation.

    If the KDE-spin installer did not need to reformat the disks (i.e. the partition sizes and formats didn’t change) it probably didn’t touch the partition labels.

    You can change the label if it bothers you, just make sure fstab doesn’t use the old label :)

    Happy hopping!
