    I switched to it not even three months ago, after two years on arch and I’m not going back. Just as if not more configurable than arch and it’s actually harder to bloat with something and then forget about it, since you always have user-readable description of your current system.








  • I mean I know people who have a lot of ansible knowledge and they were always like “yeah sure it’s declarative, you can ensure files are the correct version and stuff”, but that’s so far away that is from what NixOS does (unless I misunderstood something). I mean, the same task can be accomplished alright, but it’s a bit like writing your own NixOS.




  • Since I switched just a month or two ago yesterday was flakes-figuring-out-day for me. It’s terrible in the sense, that the first thing I had to do was actually figure out what flakes even do and what is it you can use them for. The guides didn’t help a lot because they assumed I alreary knew that. I think I understand now, but there is an offchance I got it compeletly wrong and that bothers me.
