Is anyone using NixOS as their daily driver?
(ymmel.nl)
I'm currently running Arch and it's great, but I'm noticing I'm not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I've been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I've got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don't do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.
Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?
Instead of doing nixos-rebuid boot and rebooting, you can just do a nixos-rebuild switch and not reboot.
Of course, depending on what you're doing it mifht be a good idea to reboot, but if you're just adding a package to your config file, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, for the restore process, I install a couple drivers for some USB devices. So a reboot is required. Otherwise, I has an alias for switch.
