im so fucking good at systems administration how the Hell do i use nixos

@charlotte uhh uhh it's pretty difficult to get started.. but also like so worth it

@f0x there are many cases where i have not been able to achieve the activation energy to reap the benefits of Cool Thing

it's also why i am no longer an emacs user

@charlotte @f0x imo what made me really steer away from nixos is it adds activation energy requirements to Everything. every language you use needs a new special nixos wrapper. all your dotfiles dont work without some nixos magic. your editor cant use language servers without nixos magic. just so much

@iitalics @f0x i am more interested in it as a server OS and not a desktop one

@charlotte @iitalics yeah I got into it as a server OS too, with shared config + orchestration through morph. after about a year on multiple servers im now starting to use it on my Framework too
