I showed this meme to my husband (who uses Arch, btw). He didn’t know what NixOS was and is now curious. What have I done?
You set a timer on your marriage, I’m sorry for you.
The adult version of the old xkcd
Linux now has many mature distros that just work and don’t require much configuration if any - which is the motivation for Nixos, probably
my wife has endured so much waffle about how great nixos is
i feel bad for her
So NixOS is like freebasing Arch, got it. I’m still tempted to spin up a VM, just a taste…
It is amazing, the power of a mature immutable OS, is amazing. Frankly though Ive found the reality of nix the exact opposite: because everything is configured in the one place, updates, and changes in general are so easy and risk free (rollbacks a breeeeze). So i save more time than lose tbh.
Modules and flakes are next level.
Configure ALL THE THINGS!
