As the title implies, should I do it? I love Arch so far, and I can fix most issues that pop out. However, I sometimes wish to start fresh without too much hassle, but I get a feeling NixOS isn’t as mature as Arch.

Have any of you used both, and if so, what do you miss from Arch? What are you grateful for in NixOS?

    I absolutely jumped straight in lol it’s not too bad as long as you have some time to read the wiki and play around

    Default configuration the installer generates is good to get you going

      Yeah, if you have the time and the inclination to sit down and learn how Nix operates, then you’ll be fine.

      For myself, I realized that I am happier tinkering with it now and again rather than running it as a daily driver OS.

        I can’t imagine using anything else at this point tbh, it’s been the smoothest, cleanest experience I’ve ever had on Linux

        It’s the one that finally made me abandon windows completely and stop distro hopping
