DaveI've decided to nuke my 5 year old #archlinux install last week in favor of a shiny new #nixos one as my daily driver. I still have so many things I wanna install and customize, but I'm really enjoying being able to just play around with it without the fear of bricking anything.
veetee@dave it's addictive for sure!
one tool I highly recommend is `comma`:
https://github.com/nix-community/comma
when you want to run something you don't care to install permanently (maybe you want to try it out beforehand), you can do this:
`nix-shell -p htop`
this drops you into a shell where you can run `htop`, which is pretty awesome. you exit the shell when you're done, and `htop` is no longer in your environment. neat!
however, with comma installed you run _this_:
`, htop`
this drops you _directly into_ `htop`! when you quit `htop`, you're back in your original shell.
