The config file thing works better for NixOS, but the même is still very funny !
NixOS shills be like "your entire system is set up in one single file".
They don't tell you that the documentation looks like this:
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options
NGL I was THIS close to actually looking into trying nixos out, I mean the concept is intriguing.
But after seeing that.............
Honestly you should ! Unless you want to do crazy stuff you actually don’t need to learn the entire documentation.
I was able to setup full disk encryption with encrypted boot loader pretty easily, there are great tutorials out there. I’m going to figure out Secure Boot next.
The nice thing is that once you’ve managed to do something, it’s in your config forever. My main problem with Arch was the absence of rollbacks, and having to remember all the stuff you do when installing it that you inevitably forget before the next time your system breaks and needs a reinstall. There’s none of that with Nix, and it’s awesome.
