Ironically i started using NixOS in order to distrohop. I thought it’d be nice to have everything in one config file so i can easily recreate my system if one of my hops explodes.
Well, that didn’t quite go as planned. Using it for 2 years now.
I was recommended nix, because I used to use Linux with snapshots and write my setup notes in bash scripts
I just wanted to run docker with gpu access though…a dozen distros known for Nvidia support, I decided if I had to eat a shit sandwich, I would eat it once.
Nix actually showed the desktop with the generic driver… It was faster to see up docker and vscode and everything else then to enable the Wi-Fi
Nix is the one true Linux. Look at the lengths they go through to emulate a fraction of our greatness
Remember the famous meme scene in Skyrim where you wake up for the first time?
Debian is the horse and cart you don’t even pay attention to but faithfully and reliably carries you where you need to go. It may be old, but its careful and safe and won’t harm you.
Arch is just an angry pissed off dragon. Very powerful. Good luck taming it.
Debian. It gets shit done.
Debian users try not to tell everyone at every opportunity to use Debian challenge (impossible)
NixOS users try to not to tell everyone at every opportunity to install NixOS challenge (impossible)
I don’t use Arch, by the way.
NixOS for the exact same Reason.
At some Point you just stop hopping.

My execution. That’s where it carries me. A black screen of death. The only thing that can save me is:
