I’m currently running Arch and it’s great, but I’m noticing I’m not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I’ve been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I’ve got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don’t do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

    Using it on a somewhat old Microsoft surface laptop, and it’s been really great. I really like nix for packages, but nixos got very, very cool when I was able to switch DE by changing two lines in the configuration file and everything just worked. It’s very hard to break too, which is useful for me…
