minus-squareGuybrushThreepwo0d@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoI don’t consider myself a dumb person but I couldn’t figure out nix when last I decided to play with it.

minus-squareChewy@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoThe docs for NixOS aren’t good. Much knowledge is on many blogs but who knows them all? Having the OS defined declaratively is great but I also dislike the Nix language. Once it’s setup NixOS is great. Sharing configs with PC and laptop is awesome. Rollbacks are baked in. Going off the https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs helped me gettung started.
