I have been using Linux for 6 months now, 2 months with NixOS.
Before NixOS I distrohooped frequently, i tried every mainstream distro: Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, OpenSUSE and several deveriatives of those. One day I decided it's time something really unique, NixOS.
At the start it was hard. I think it was the only time I ever had really problems with new distro. But when I got it working, I saw how amazing it is. For a "small" price of being hard to setup, it has so so so many benefits: - Everything is in one place. You don't have to edit 10 different config files, which are all in different directories if you want to make some changes. - Backuping is much, much easier. If your entire PC, with all the dotfiles and services is stored on a single file, you can perform complete reinstalls without losing data. - It's almost impossible to break the system. I don't exaggerate, I'd have to do it on purpose to actually break it. - Making a significant change in the system (like changing the browser or the DE) is so easy that it's just funny. If I wanted to, I could change my DE in less than 5 minutes. - Generations. I think that's rollback system better than btrfs snapshots or really anything else, but that's just my opinion. - Nixpkgs are the biggest and the most complete package repository in the world. Since I started using NixOS, there was only ONE package (open recall) I wanted to install that wasn't in the nixpkgs or NUR. Literally everything else, from GNOME extensions to cargo packages was in the nixpkgs. - Security. NixOS is one of the most secure distros out there. It's almost impossible to break in, without injecting malware into nixpkgs or me knowing.
I really can't go back. Around a week ago I tried to try Fedora 43, but I just couldn't. NixOS is just too good to use anything else..
