If you've hung out in Linux enthusiast circles lately, you'll have heard whispers that Arch Linux is no longer hot product. Instead, all the cool kids are using something called NixOS. Since I bricked my Debian setup in an unfortunate accident involving compiling from source, I decided to give NixOS …

Hey all, thought this might be of interest to some here.

Wrote about why I moved from NixOS to Ubuntu after using it for several months on my daily driver. Suspect that this take is likely to be kind of controversial and court claims of skill issues, which might even be true.

Let me know what you think.

    i find arch to sometimes break on updates for me. it always turns out to be either:

    1- bleeding edge package update made it bleed 2- needed to be watching announcements and change some config file 3- i havent updated in a while and it dislikes that.

    i like having 100% automatic updates.

      Depends on what yoy install I guess.

      It only broke twice for me from updates during the 5 year period. 1. grub 2. openjdk

      and the openjdk one simply didn’t update until I uninstalled the old one and reinstalled the new one.
