I am using NixOS but it's... difficult.

[โ€“] ScruffyDux@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was considering giving NixOS a go. What are you finding difficult about it?

[โ€“] Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's mainly frustrating because the learning curve is steep for no reason. NixOS is not complicated at all in and of itself, but the documentation surrounding it is very, very difficult to make heads or tails of.

How so? I've always been interested in trying that one.

I'm using Arch (btw) but I'm running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It's kind of wild, it's not like any way I'm used to thinking about an OS at all, so I'm still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!
