> I don’t use distros that lack a graphical installer (running fdisk is frankly beneath my dignity)
Ironically, I couldn't get the 22.11 graphical installer to work. I had to drop down to an Arch style install (which was fine).
My biggest complaint with NixOS is the pain of trying to run things that weren't built in nix (like Minecraft, or some other binary-only tool). I end up creating a podman image to run some of these things. I'm sure I could also create a derivation for them, but haven't bothered running down that rabbit hole yet.
If you're a programmer, Nix is awesome. But I don't think it's for the masses.
