Hi everyone!

I saw that NixOS is getting popularity recently. I really have no idea why and how this OS works. Can you guys help me understanding all of this ?

Thanks !

    Not using it anymore. Although I’m thinking about going back to it. The NixOS learning curve is a bit more steep than most other distros.

        I have been using Arch and Fedora. Considering Fedora Silverblue too. Everything is working well, so not in a rush to distro hop.

        1. Some level of frustration with the nix language and the configuration
        2. Wanting to try various obscure Python packages

        Nothing too major. Just already knowing how to make things work in other distros vs investing more time into learning to do it the NixOS way.
