When you are tired hopping between different but similar distros, give NixOS a shot. No way back from there :)

Presumably because it locks your bootloader or something, such that you are unable to wipe your PC once you're finally done pulling your hair out and ready to admit defeat? ;-)

		There’s a sense of order and tidiness in running Nix on multiple machines with diverse uses and hardware, all based on single configuration, that’s difficult to let go off once you’ve tried it. It’s basically an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.

		No, it's because when you finally get all your things to work you don't want to upset it. It gets very angry.

Careful though, you might end up like me and add more and more machines, because setting up new machine is very satisfying with nixos

But also note that she eventually moved out of it > (note from 18 months later in August 2024: I’ve mostly switched back to Homebrew, nix was interesting but overall I think it’s not worth the complexity for me)
