I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?
I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)
After using NixOS, I don’t think I could go back to a regular distro. At the very least, maybe debian with the nix package manager
@ultra @blotz is it really that good
As someone who uses it as well:
Yes it is. Especially if you use Gnome. Because you can set dconf settings right in your Config.
It takes a while to remember to configure your User Account not in the normal Settings App but instead in the Config, but once you do it’s amazing.
I reinstalled on my Laptop and i was back on my old Desktop with all my Programs, Extensions, Settings etc within 20 Minutes
When i change a Setting on my Laptop, i use Git to synch the Config to my Desktop and all the changes i made to my Laptop are also on my Desktop.
Also: no more accidentally breaking your system. I don’t have to type random Commands in my Terminal to try and fix something and then try ans revert them. I just add the Config. If it doesn’t work, i remove the Config again and it automatically reverts everything back as if nothing ever happened.
It is trily amazing
Now if only SELinux or Apparmor finally were supported.
@Neon maybe I’ll install it on my Kubantu
