#Nixos.
- You'll never have to clean install to fix some weird thing you fucked up. All non default stuff is in your config.
- While it's another learning curve I argue it's a less steep learning curve than traditional linux if your syntactically minded.
- I've gotten my system closest to how I've always wanted with it including finally moving to Wayland with a working setup.
- Classically you'd install beginner friendly distribution or starter script when starting for sane defaults. In Nixos you fork a flake of someone who has similar tastes and go from there without learning everything their script messed with or all the possible configs the distro customized.
- Ever forget how you fixed some dumb issue even though you take notes on the issues you fix on new distros/machines but missed one? In Nixos with git repo you only s do something once per machine.
It has flaws for sure like documentation but I can't imagine going back still.
