Just curious to see what people are up to. I’ve been using Nixos for a while. It’s fabulous and I have absolutely no reason to switch, but part of me is itching to hop to Debian or maybe OpenSUSE. How about you?

    I use NixOs btw Its awesome. Having a stable system config with home-mangere for the user env is pretty nice to just play around with the security of always being able to switch back to a working generation (some exceptions may apply).

    I was messing with the hardware config (which has a warning not to mess with it if you dont know what you are doing) and corrupted my drives.

    I got my previous system back from a clean install in 30 minutes.

      Yes, it certainly invites you to tinker and experiment with the system without having to fear a broken state. I got multiple forks for different applications (e.g. helix-editor with a few merged PRs), and configured the system in a detail not comparable to any previous distros I was on. Really like how I can e.g. carelessly switch between different desktop environments (without VM)…
