Comment on Sanity check: am I crazy for wanting to wipe everything and do/learn from scratch?
JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoImmutable distros like NixOS don’t stop you from tweaking stuff, they just record every tweak centrally, so that you can undo them and do rollbacks.
Others can confirm that I’ve got that right. Haven’t tried it but the idea sounds great.

I’ve used NixOS on my laptop as a learning experience for the past year and find your summary solid. Rollbacks = 🍰. The bug bear for me has been the Nix language itself. It’s functional, (a first for me,) and with the documentation lacking, I’ve been thrown for more than a few loops. That said, i have indeed learned quite a bit as a result. Still a ways to go but here’s to the journey!
