As the title implies, should I do it? I love Arch so far, and I can fix most issues that pop out. However, I sometimes wish to start fresh without too much hassle, but I get a feeling NixOS isn’t as mature as Arch.
Have any of you used both, and if so, what do you miss from Arch? What are you grateful for in NixOS?
For many it’s a radical change in paradigm, and I assume many just want to understand it well
Fair enough to be honest when I jumped in I dual booted with windows so always had a safety net (also was experimenting on my laptop before moving to my PC)
I never went back to windows. I had my stuff in a separate partition so when I went back to Fedora or Arch, I had my stuff there
Tbh same, I only ever went back to windows when I absolutely needed something to work immediately for something work related (my manager does not have much patience for my antics with technology when it doesn’t go 100% smoothly)
My PC which is now purely for personal use I just completely wiped and replaced, didn’t even keep the old disk contents because it was full of years worth of windows usage detrius
hahahaha nice. I hope I don’t have to dual boot windows. My laptop is fast enough for VMs
As long as you’ve got patience and you’re not using it for work you should be fine
