1, that's not something a day one Linux user would understand, and you shouldn't encourage people to use commands they don't understand.
2, I guess you're arguing that distro is important, so thanks for agreeing with me.
It literally says enable plasma 5, how is that hard to understand?
On Ubuntu it's just
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop. I guess that means you think it's even easier there and everyone understands all the implications of that and nothing could possibly go wrong?There are no implications to installing anything in NixOS because you can go back to a previous state at any point.
Running the software might change your settings, but can't really do anything about that since that's the software author's choice and it's in your home folder
Look, I understand how NixOS works. It has nothing to do with anything I've been trying to say though. I'm trying to have a conversation, and you keep derailing it with you NixOS sales pitch. What do you even want from me? Fine. NixOS is the most bestest at everything ever and everyone should immediately jump right into it with no help or context straight out of Windows. Are you happy now?
