I personally use #NixOS. The declarative nature of it is so nice.
It enables me to share common configuration between different computers while still allowing host specific differences without relying on hacky solutions like #chezmoi.
Not knocking chezmoi, it’s great and I used it for years, I just prefer the home-manager module for NixOS.
I have seen a lot about Nix recently, and I must admit I’m really intrigued. I definitely want to play around with it more. Conceptually, it does sound pretty cool.
22.04 LTS gang
Honestly, it’s kinda my default general purpose linux distro at this point. Set it up bare bones and headless, rip out
snap
, and do what you want.@gravitas_deficiency @alcasa

I like it, but don’t expect it to save you any time unless your managing 3+ computers.
Yeah, it definitely seems aimed way more at cluster deployments. Still, a very cool concept to tailor the OS towards.
22.04 is fucking spectacular. Now that it’s got 10 years of free support… I don’t know what I’m gonna do.
