Now I’m not a shill but I did switch from Arch to Nix (because my Bluetooth was irremediably broken on Arch, and no one responded to any of my posts) and it’s honestly a lot less complicated than the documentation suggests 😆
Nobody said anything about third-party articles. The page linked above is supposed to be a reference, not a tutorial. But the official Nix website also has actual tutorials.
This just makes me want to get into nix even more. Put configs in a git repo and build vms until you have the config you want, then update only when you’re doing something new. I use Arch btw. For desktop. Otherwise it’s a mix fedora, red hat, debian, Ubuntu, cent, bsd, armbien, openWRT, and a few others.
NixOS shills be like “your entire system is set up in one single file”.
They don’t tell you that the documentation looks like this:
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options
This may be the longest single page I’ve ever seen. The scrollbar moves almost imperceptibly.
That page is 17MB (of just text, no images)

That’s the raw documentation. There’s plenty of other articles that are actually useful.
Isn’t it kinda sad that one has to rely on third-party articles to even understand the package manager/OS one wants to use?

That’s what I meant. Helped me with set up my odd pc easily
Do not set up your entire config in one file please, break that shit up
But I do love nixos(I am the person in the image)
