For me, at least. Finally moved my desktop off Windows 10 and on to CachyOS. Things just… work. Finding applications to install via AUR is easy, gaming is great. The only thing I’m missing is Fusion360 but I didn’t use it too much to begin with. Happy to be Microsoft-free. Several friends have switched off of Windows as well which is great to see. I’ve really been enjoying Arch (btw) I have CachyOS on my laptop and also in a VM which is nice to have the same desktop experience on all my devices. Looking forward to the road ahead!

      If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.

      nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.

      Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.

        Yep. NixOS inspired me to write my very first package manager package. I distro hopped to Arch Linux and wrote a PKGBUILD for that.

        I’m back on NixOS
