Yes, of course you do :) And next week, you’ll be using NixOS :)

Honestly it’s just so good. The installation was a heck of a process the first time but it taught me so much, and no other distro I’ve tried has just worked like this across all my hardware.

Linux Mint, the vanilla distro with chocolate.

Mint user checking in. It’s easy to use and I like Cinnamon. Only complaint is the lack of Wayland support.

Yeah, pop shop is just a pain. It’s why I started learning how to use the command line.

I am using NixOS but it’s… difficult.

I’m using Arch (btw) but I’m running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It’s kind of wild, it’s not like any way I’m used to thinking about an OS at all, so I’m still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!

How so? I’ve always been interested in trying that one.

I was considering giving NixOS a go. What are you finding difficult about it?

It’s mainly frustrating because the learning curve is steep for no reason. NixOS is not complicated at all in and of itself, but the documentation surrounding it is very, very difficult to make heads or tails of.
