      Much more I think. The initial setup is the hard part, and I would recommend keeping a second computer on the side so you can keep trouble shooting when your display driver shits the bed or your wifi module decides it would like to take a nap.

        I installed NixOS a couple months ago, and it’s been my smoothest Linux experience to date. Everything just worked, except I had to figure out how to open the firewall for my network drive on my home server to be discoverable and usable. But that was fairly expected. I game, so I stress test the graphics routinely. No WiFi, though, so I guess that could maybe be flaky.

    Somehow NixOS really is like a fucking crack. I had like a 6 moths non-stop hyperfixation about configuring everything using NixOS and Home Manager. Almost every evening. Now I have a polished setup of my personal and work laptops, homelab server and a VPS. And I have no regrets, this thing is amazing.

    I want to like Nix. The idea of declarative managing is super appealing. But I just don’t have the time. My dream is to leverage both worlds, a cloud native Nix based OS. Every time I sit down to plan that task it looks daunting though.

    Arch User here btw… she left me after pacman -Syu broke my system again. I think I saw her with a Debian User… Damn stable systems!

      I’ve never had things break after doing updates in Arch. Am I doing something different to most people in the “pacman -Syu” memes, or is the likelihood of breaking stuff overdone as a joke

        Tch… Who can live with packages that are more than a few days old!? All my packages are bleeding edge and there are only minor major version conflicts

        Everything

        But yeah, being super personalised is the joke. I don’t see many NixOS users typing out nixos-rebuild outside of making tutorials.

    whispering into the void

    That’s it, that’s the problem. You talked to another distribution while still using the previous one. Yous lost your wife’s trust, then it was over.
