Exactly. And here I am, after 2 days of trying to bend NixOS to my will, and I gave up. Tomorrow, I’m going back to Fedora, where everything worked perfectly, because I fell for “Shiny thing sindrome”, or the “grass is greener on the other side” stuff. Should have never doubted it. After 2 years of full time Linux and a lot of distrohopping, one would think I’d have known better.
NixOS is a nightmare. It works then you want to do something that can be done on another distro and you can’t. Same just went to silver blue at least acts like a regular distro.
Can confirm. I have used one or the other exclusively for 20 years. Mostly on laptops. And these days with just a tiling window manager and terminal.
It just works.
