Time consuming at first, but reinstalling a system is a breeze after that. I reckon nixOS has saved me so much more time than all the config tweaks put together.
do you reinstall your system often? i installed my system in 2022 right after slackware 15.0 released, never reinstalled since. even when switching hardware i just have to update/modify the kernel, nothing else.
This. I don’t see where the benefit of NixOS even is.
Everything in Linux is a file. You can literally just copy your system to a new drive, rebuild initramfs and fstab, and boot it.
