❄️ Why I'm Leaving NixOS After a Year? | rugu

「 I understand the benefits of reproducibility and so on, but when I think about how much I’ve gained from that reproducibility compared to my old dotfiles setup, I realize that I did NOT see any real benefits in practice. I am just sure that configuring and making stuff run the Nix way just takes way more time than just using a regular FHS distro 」

@jbz nice writeup and indeed it summarizes my experience also.
Man what did I spent looking into code and debugging the configurations when I look back
But when it works? It is ok indeed and smooth.

Arch? Yes gives me a good vibe also
Thanks again for the last push I may have needed
