Jump from Arch to NixOS? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by andrew0@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/linux@lemmy.ml

As the title implies, should I do it? I love Arch so far, and I can fix most issues that pop out. However, I sometimes wish to start fresh without too much hassle, but I get a feeling NixOS isn't as mature as Arch.

Have any of you used both, and if so, what do you miss from Arch? What are you grateful for in NixOS?

I never went back to windows. I had my stuff in a separate partition so when I went back to Fedora or Arch, I had my stuff there

Tbh same, I only ever went back to windows when I absolutely needed something to work immediately for something work related (my manager does not have much patience for my antics with technology when it doesn't go 100% smoothly)

My PC which is now purely for personal use I just completely wiped and replaced, didn't even keep the old disk contents because it was full of years worth of windows usage detrius

hahahaha nice. I hope I don't have to dual boot windows. My laptop is fast enough for VMs

As long as you've got patience and you're not using it for work you should be fine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
