yeah, same. I am currently on NixOS, but looking to move away because it’s lacking support any MAC. I really love NixOS and it’s declarative approach to things, but i can’t live with such a large security hole in my home Network.
As soon as i find a Distro that has MAC and allows for at least semi-declarative configuration, i am switching. But being able to declare an env/dconf setting in my config and sync it across all devices is just too powerful
I suggest you check Silverblue + Ansible (or CoreOS/IoT for server stuff).
while i think that ansible is really cool, it’s not the same as Nix.
correct me if i’m wrong, but afaik Ansible just modifies the current state of the System with a declarative configuration.
Nix reverts your system back to install and then applies the configuration. The result is that in Nix if i remove something from the configuration.nix it is as if it never existed, whereas on Ansible it stays unless i manually run a task to uninstall it.
