Tried NixOS !

So I tried nixos and I love how things work, I am glad that it exists. Will learn about Flakes today. Any recommended resource to learn it? :)

    Congrats! It took me three months to get everything running the way I wanted. Now I run a bunch of machines off of a single flake, managing family and friend’s machines too. Next is moving my server over to nixos. Read through the wiki and site, get on the nixos discord or matrix site, ask questions, use the discourse, and when you feel confident nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#!

      The --flake .# is redundant, just FYI ;)

        There’s a difference. Without it, it loads the flake from /etc/nixos/flake.nix instead of the current directory. (What is redundant is the #, you can just write --flake .)

          Yeah, true, valid point. Guess I never thoughg about rebuilding from anywhere not /etc/nixos
