At times i have felt that my distro was so not worth the flak.
But the thing that keeps me on it is i write it once and never half to dick with it again.
NixOS is really powerful, but the learning curve will push you to the edge!
I currently self host alot of stuff on my server which runs NixOS, theres some services that are as simple as ollama.service = true;
And others that you spend hours cussing at. But i feel the declarative nature is what makes switching to any other distro feel so unintuitive.
My linux journey had been,
Manjaro > ubuntu > arch > fedora > silverblue > opensuse tumbleweed > gentoo > nixos > opensuse tumbleweed > nixos.
I kept coming back to nix because i wrote what i wanted it to do and it did it that way every time. Its been a godsend for ZFS, although its not super bad to use ZFS on debian just mostly time consuming. The fact i dont half to worry about a update breaking DKMS and making my filesystem not work. I SWEAR SUN IF YOU COULD HAVE JUST DONE THE GPL INSTEAD OF CDL!!!
I have recently been exploring Guix, purely because of the NixOS drama. But i think nix is my main server OS
I know its not the same, but i find the concept alot more well implemented And personally been having fun with it as its more than LoRa and Ethernet.
Rnode is the equivalent
