With that, I’m starting a contest (the prize is the honor of being texted by me that you won):

Guess how much it will take me to break the system beyond repair. I will deliberately do stupid things such as using random niche bootloaders, bcachefs and whatever else is suggested in comments.

If I can’t break the system in like 2 weeks, I’m installing that NixOS config regardless of this challenge.

Yep, that’s it. Thanks for participation and don’t break your system.

Edit: I’m not going with bcachefs. Thanks Linus

    That’s the reason I came back to Debian after 3 years of fedora. Every major kernel update (sometime even a minor one) broke my shitty nvidia card driver.

      TBF it’s mostly a fedora issue to not wait for the Nvidia drivers to be compatible to release the kernel.

      Never had a problem on nixos despite being rolling release and using the same proprietary drivers
