NixOS Is Not for Me Right Now

Over the past few days I tried NixOS, and yesterday I realized it's not for me.

What first drew me in was one thing about NixOS: complete control over a system, inside and out — as long as the config is there, you can reproduce an identical environment on a brand-new machine. That's genuinely great, because using Linux means having to learn a lot, and there's always something you're unfamiliar with — and when you've broken the system, how to roll back is often a real headache. NixOS's design solves exactly that problem.
