nixos, never going back to anything else
Thanks for sharing. Will search and try.

once you get into nixos way, it's pretty hard to move back to anything else, the only os that i think i could move on is guixos, but where i live it's not easy to get a full libre hardware, but NixOS is an addiction, and im not a dev or anything like on T.I
If you want to stick to apt, I would try Pop_OS! If you are up for trying something else, give Fedora a try. Both of these recommendations are based on a "I just want to do my work, but would like a modern distro" mindset.
Thanks for sharing. I installed Fedora in VM this time, still learn now.
I would encourage you to not use a VM or dual boot. Often I've noticed people give up easily when they encounter a hurdle because it is very easy to go back to your old setup.
If you have a second computer, I would encourage you to install there, and try using it for everything. That way, you'll have more motivation to learn how to find your way around the new OS, and solve problems.
Note that "problems" are often because you want the new OS to behave the same way as your old one. That is the incorrect approach. Instead focus on, I used to do X task, how do I achieve that now?
Hope this helps, and good luck 🤞
Daily device -> VoidLinux {
pro: fast , light weight and stable,
con: using runit, some systemd service may need some tweak
}
Server ->
NixOS {
pro: immutable system
con: taking some time to install everything even if you made a minor change on the setting
},
debian {
pro: easy to use, can do anything
con: some pakage have out-dated
}
Very detailed, thank you.
