Ah, NixOS!
Touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread – or was it wheel ;-) ? I gave it a whirl, and you know what? Not half bad, I understand why some people are loving it. But that documentation? It’s like they threw in a little mystery novel just for kicks. Tried to decode the enigma of flakes, and despite my self-proclaimed "Linux genius", felt like I was reading hieroglyphics without the Rosetta Stone. Oh, I get it – with Arch becoming the 'paint by numbers' of the Linux world, we needed a new puzzle, and NixOS said, "Hold my bong." Yes, I can mirror my oh-so-complex setup across my vast empire of... two computers. But the real question is, why? Merging configs and dotfiles into configuration.nix, home.nix or maybe in fake.nix is kind of like doing a jigsaw puzzle blindfolded. Fun, but I'll likely be calling Sherlock Holmes in a couple of months to decipher my own work. I'll have my fun experimenting, but NixOS, sweetie, you're not stealing the crown from my cherished Tumbleweed just yet. ;-)
Peace and a happy nixos-rebuild switch to y'all! :-D
