So many things to learn, so little time….
Can’t wait to get back at relay coding, but damn… that NixOS rabbit hole is something… spent the whole week full time learning it and it feels I just barely scratched the surface.
I can already tell I won’t ever go back to "regular" linux distributions such as Debian, Red Hat or Fedora…
I expect I will be going down that rabbit hole soon. I have a computer set aside that needs an SSD and maybe a little more updating, and then I’ll put NixOS on it.
I was looking in to nix for my node. Is do you think it is worth the steep learning curve?
Absolutely… imagine having nothing installed on your brand new NixOS, typing a command and end up in a shell with rust installed and ready to go… then exit, and have nothing installed, but still have the compiled binaries in the folder you started with…
These environments merely are based on configuration files in a git repository somewhere, so you can build yours and share them with collegues…
I am totally stoked at that point.
Need to take some time to dive in to it then. Got some new hardware for a new node coming in would be nice to be ready for it.
