    I laughed about the meme.

    But It's the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

    Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It's a nice life on Nix.

    Idk, I like NixOS but it's not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won't have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn't the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven't messed with it as much as Arch.

    I don't like the nix package manager it updates too slowly, and though a config file for everything is a neat idea, i found that it was kind of clunky for use on a desktop, so i'm back on void (which tbf has way less packages than arch or nix but xbps has everything i personally need)

    Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It's a long and very particular list) I'll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.

    Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.

    [–] BRBWaffles@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

    I would be willing to do this, yes.
