NixOS resuscitated a 2012 Macbook Air. This thing flies! I was NOT expecting that at all (lemmy.ml)

As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this "relic" in IT terms... On this machine i tested:

Distro	Performance
Fedora	MEGA slow
Ubuntu	OKish
LDME	Fast
Debian	Fast
NixOS	VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

I still am fighting learning those! I don't have home manager. I will avoid flakes at all costs and never heard of modules....

My stuff works anyway

Once you are comfy with base configs. Simple flakes become a dream simplifying your configs especially helpful when your using nix on more than one computer.

Vimjoyer on youtube has a bunch of vids that really helps and he keeps it simple.
