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 🌻

    A drive label is just a string that can be set by any privileged process. Seems like this installation of the new distro didn’t do that. Or you skipped a step in the install where you could have chosen the drive label.

    If it is a bug in the installer or if you missed it, I can’t tell.

    But you can just change it in gparted or something else.

      Yes,

      It should not affect the working of the disk as UUID is used for identification of the disk for booting OS.
