Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.

    Yah, I get that. But lots of people use Nix as a daily desktop driver because it’s immutable. It’s not hard to set up the first time with some example configs, and if you want to get more complicated, it’s certainly an interesting direction and great time sink.

    Frankly, I’d try it in a VM first, so you can snapshot it and play, and see what you think. I don’t use it myself but I’ve set it up a few times and it’s pretty cool to play with, I might get around to putting it on one of my bare metal desktops one day.

      Ugh stop tempting meeee lmao tbf if I set it up in a vm it’d be painless to move to bare metal since I’d have a config already

      Where do you get the example configs? Id love to start from a solid setup then tinker vs build a config from scratch.

      I have nix in a VM just trying to get it in a spot where I’d feel comfortable attempting to daily drive.
