I love Nix. Arch is great, and I’ve used it before, but I love how easily I can just commit my Nix config to a hit repo and save my work after Ive spent 5 hours configuring every app with a pastel color scheme.

yeah every time I make some tweak to fix an issue in Arch I’m just like “I will never remember this, if my SSD dies all this effort is just gone”

I installed EndeavourOS the other day for exactly this reason. It’s really great not to have to spend like a full ass day configuring a desktop environment. I’ve already done that plenty, thanks!

Installations 1-3 are a slog, #4 is when it starts to hit right.

tbh it isn’t too bad, it almost felt a bit uhhhh cosplay-hardcore-ish? idk how to describe. There’s a big thing made about you having to configure the network, which you definitely do, but other than that everything seems to basically work out of the box.

Of course things can go wrong, which they did in my case (dual-boot issues with windows & linux affecting the network card) which made it so I took a full week to get to a decent install. So yeah there’s that.

I ran Nix for a few months but I went back to Arch because it just didn’t feel right. My biggest issue/complaint being the whole filesystem hierarchy standard being thrown out the window, and yes I am aware of buildFHSUserEnv, but it just feels so wrong.

I 100% agree, ran Nix for a few months until I switched back to Arch. Nix was cool, and having a declarative config was great, but in the end it became too much hassle. Arch just works.

Alex Jones was right, Bill Gates is transing our kids by making bad Windows upgrades to push them towards Arch Linux

…i wonder if i should’ve bought a thinkpad rather than a “gaming laptop” lmao

especially as i’m not even playing games on it, moreso just using it for work

though not putting playing games fully out the window too

If you have $200 and want a fallback, the t480 is one of the most recent ones with everything replaceable and decent specs.

64gb max ram and two bootable drives and two batteries iirc but you can’t replace the processor and you gotta watch out for the 480s that has a soldered stick.
