  • I’ve recently switched to NixOS and I’m loving it. I’d say that it’s as much of a learning curve as Arch, but without the breakage when you screw something up.

    You install all your packages and do all your configuration from the main config file. Should something somehow break you can simply switch to an older generation (a state of your computer, basically) and go on with your day. Also, if you configure something incorrectly it will warn you and refuse to apply it. You can even check the config file into git and keep track of your changes!

    The new terminology can be pretty daunting, especially when people start talking about flakes. My suggestion is to simply avoid those until they’ve matured.

    I can’t comment on it’s ability to game, but I’d definitely give it a try :D
