I've been breaking my huge configuration.nix out to flakes. It's been glorious how many gains I've made in creating an optimized system for gaming and virtualization. These things used to take me weeks to setup and now I have a rock solid config to do it in mere minutes. Good job sticking with it, NixOS is not simple and may take a couple tries before you really understand and appreciate things.
Nice video :D To be honest, I have found NixOS really good for gaming for one, simple reason: It removes all the pain related to installing nvidia drivers, I do not have to worry about potential kernel mismatch (DKMS is not a perfect solution)
I just made the switch from Arch, and a big help for me was having already had a good backup with all the essential files and programs I needed already backed up or written down. Took a while to copy everything into the config with the right syntax and such, but now instead of having a gigabyte of a backup, I can recreate my entire system with 2 files under a megabyte :)
Right now I am on fedora and have like a whole procedure written down to get it set up how I want it. Mostly copying and pasting bash commands. You don't know how furious I was when I accidentally nuked the boot drive because I left it there and had no back up.@@jimjam4real
Hi there, do you have your nixOS config shared anywhere? I have a similar laptop as yours but i'm having some trouble to have nixOS working good. Best regards
I think the reason that Nix gets so much attention - is that it's so difficult and provides plenty of tinder for podcasters to generate material - to try to make Nix seem useful to the average user. Nix is not useful for average users. Not unless you have interest in writing your own "Configuration Files". All these podcasters make it seem easy. Take Heed. It's not. Not by a country mile.

Nobara has an ISO that straight up comes with NVIDIA drivers
@@FluffyPuppyKaseynobara is bloated as shit
thanks for the tests, almost no one does this👍👍
NixOS is something I have on my radar. I seems very useful to be able to replicate a setup from scratch on multiple systems.
Yes and no

Sorry I don't have one that I can share at the moment, but I'm thinking about building a blog site
Can you make a review about pinebook pro using manjaro gnome?
sure, once I got enough money from the channel to sponsor me one :p
NixOS!!!! NixOS!!!! NisOS!!!

Nix is glorious if you're a developer or a sys admin. For the average PC user wanting to use Linux as their primary OS though, you're absolutely right
It's not very useful for me. You're right.
But it's fun, so imma keep using it
