I know its a meme but nixos is actually good for this. You can be on the unstable branch, not update for 5 years and still get everything working after updating(tho i dont recommend because of security). I think nixos has some fucking AMAZING features but the problem is its paired with features that make it extremely hard to use for a casual user.
So many Linux problems are solved by using NixOS, it's amazing. Immutability? NixOS. Atomic upgrades? NixOS. Whole system rollbacks? NixOS. Versionned system settings? NixOS. Impermanence? NixOS. Multiple versions of the same program installed at once? NixOS. Containers? NixOS. Multiple hardware profiles on a single installation? NixOS.
At this point, I think the only thing remaining is a Flatpak-like sandbox.
If im right theres a utility for nixos that wraps flatpacks in an environment so they work nice with nix. I dont really use flatpacks so i dont know what the name is tho.
Agreed! I think a part of the "problem" is that with Nix, there's now at least 3 sides: application specific knowledge, system knowledge, and you have to use the nix language, architecture and tools to interface with it. so for a seasoned linux user, there's maybe just a new programming language, but if you're new to Linux, it's quickly gonna overwhelm you. which in a way is a bit ironic because I'd argue that it's easier to manage a NixOS system, and getting help is so much easier when your problems can be replicated by just aharing your config.
Id say its easy to share your problems with other people because its a few files unlike distros like arch where your packages can be fucked up and then you have to reinstall in most cases. But the support it self isnt too good. Arch has archwiki, ubuntu has a lot of channels of support while nixos has a badly written wiki.
if it's an actual wiki, you can fix that :)
The thing is i cant. I dont understand what im doing either. I just copy other peoples config and mess around until it works.
