I think there’s a few levels above NixOS.
- impermanence
- content-addressed nix store using zfs
Impermanence really goes well with the whole ascension theme
I went straight to nixos lol
nix-shell radicalised me very quickly
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.
