Okay, I have a weekend ahead, and some spare time. Should I take a look at and ?

From what I see and read, it is an insanely powerful tool, but also not easy to master.

Thanks to I can simply create a nixOS machine or install nix into any other of the major distros available.

It would be nice to get some familiarity with it and use less wherever possible.

@mikewink nix newbie here. I found the std project to offer an approach that helped make many complex stuff click for me. Now looking at using that to provide a gentle intro in the ecosystem.

@mikewink Go for a NixOS install and just ignore optional complications like Home Manager and Flakes. That makes basic familiarity an excellent weekend project.

@mikewink is a total gamechanger in terms of system management and stability...not to mention the awesomeness that is !

I've been using it as a daily driver on several devices now for over a year coming from . Even better though, is I can still use bleeding edge Arch from inside NixOS to develop certain applications! 🙌🤘😎 :nixos: :arch:
