A review of Nix/NixOS after using it on all my machines for three years. I'll cover what works, what doesn't, and why it's the first OS that's stuck with me.
Unsure about dislikes. You have any desktop spin as you want, complete freedom, immutable, a single small file governs your entire system. I daily Nix currently and I haven’t found an easier distro. I’m not super advanced and I did a full custom build, luks, tweaks, full app installs from scratch. Booted up as if I never left my old PC. Nix is the shit. Most everyone’s concerns are overblown. Most haven’t used it beyond a simple test run or few. The slight learning curve of your config syntax and that’s it. I came from mint then from windows. Newcomers you can do it too!!
