@thumbsup been using Ubuntu for a long time, but realized I have to fight it more and more (native packages turning into snaps and other stuff. Now it's nixos on the laptop and Fedora on the desktop.

@manpacket How have you found Nixos in terms of difficulty coming from Ubuntu/Fedora?

@thumbsup I knew Haskell so it helped a bit. Documentation is very spotty. Tools are spotty. Error messages could use some love. Some functionality is missing. But once it works it works. I like the ability to run any software without installing it.
