@b0rk It feels less cluttered, as if there is less to keep in mind that determines the "current state" of my computers, it's mostly in /etc/nixos. It feels easier to recreate my preferences on another laptop, and it removed my urge to periodically reinstall everything. It's the only distro I've successfully learned how to make and distribute packages for, and how to patch existing packages just for myself. With enough digging in nixpkgs, I can maybe figure out how anything I use was set up.
