  • Arch with i3/sway is what I’d recommend then. NixOS seems really cool, but I’ve heard it’s very difficult. Also it’s going to be much easier to test stuff out on Arch, then once you have a full setup you like, you could try Nix.

    I’d recommend Neovim too, with some nice extensions. That’s what I’d start with, and you can start on MacOS. I wouldn’t feel at home in the terminal without it, and I think you’ll really want it for setting up everything else. I’d almost say that vim or emacs is a prerequisite for something like NixOS.

    Between vim and a tiling wm, you’re going to have enough of a learning curve to start, I think.
