I’m currently running Arch and it’s great, but I’m noticing I’m not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I’ve been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I’ve got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don’t do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

    My wife’s system is nixOS, (~12 year old laptop) it runs great.

      I recently set up my partner’s 2012 MacBook Air with nixOS and it’s been a fantastic machine. I already had a nixOS configuration from my laptop, so it took all of 30 minutes to install and get to virtually the same state as my primary laptop.
