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?
It’s a lot of work tbh. I’ve used arch for 10+ years and recently switched to NixOs to give it a spin, and couldn’t get my exact setup that I wanted for tools and accessories I use, and the system immutability isn’t that practical imo. So I switched back to my old Arch setup and now just use Flakes for various projects I have, basically just the Nix part, which is very nice imo.
