      This is what I did, from NixOS to Debian. I managed to end up with a dependency conflict in less than a day, precisely the problem that NixOS attempts to solve. I came back to NixOS and accepted my fate: asking for help from the NixOS community.

      “Fun” story: Upgrading Debian once hosed my system so hard I needed to install a separate OS on another drive so I could copy over my data. An IT pro probably could have figured it out, but for whatever reason the upgrade decided that it really needed to take my hard drive and move it from /dev/sd1 to, I shit you not, /etc/home. No, I do not know why. No, I could not just move it back to /dev/sd1 because it tried to copy the entirety of itself into itself rather than just change a file location. I got to the Debian forum for help and just get the standard abusive incel fuckery in response.

      I think that’s when I moved to SUSE for the first time. Way less shitty community.
