Planning to reset my server (sick of Ubuntu breaking stuff all the time). What should I switch to:
* NixOS: feels very complex, documentation of package configuration feels lackluster, to the point where I needed to hunt through source code to figure out how to configure things. Would probably end up spending tons of time configuring it plus trying to get other things working, which is not exactly ideal. I love the idea of having a configuration that I can have fully backed up and documented though.
* Fedora: familiar and super solid. Moves faster than Ubuntu, but haven't experienced any issues as a result on my desktop. Everything I need definitely works, but X11 support potentially going away soon could be a pain for VNC access.
* Something else: I want to avoid Apt if possible, and am looking for something reasonably stable and very reliable. Ideally should be supported by Cloudflared so I can get my server tunnelling working properly.
Would love to hear some thoughts. #Linux #Fedora #NixOS
