    I think there’s a few levels above NixOS.

    • impermanence
    • content-addressed nix store using zfs

      I tried guixos first, and that was really unpleasant. I’m still wary of trying nixos.

      nix-env and the official docs caused me to give up on trying to figure out nix multiple times over the years.

      Luckily someone recommended home-manager before I gave up last time, and things have started to make sense since then.

      Same here.

      Went straight from arch to nixos. Using nix-shell a lot for testing things or setting up dev environments.

      I also don’t use flakes or home-manager at the moment. I feel like just a regular configuration (split up in multiple .nix files) keeps everything very simple and works perfectly for me.

    i dived head-first into nixOS

    best mistake of my life. i love configuring it, and i love how different it is.
