So it begins (appreciation post)

[u/Lonely-Scarcity-3387]

The original reason I got into Linux was because I was forced to reinstall Windows after an update broke my system. And while I knew nothing about Linux, or NixOS, at that time; that impetus inevitably led me to appreciate reproducibility.

Now I can finally say, after 3 months of configuring, ricing, and testing - I’m at the point of being able to reinstall my NixOS setup from the minimal ISO, using a single command.

I’m fortunate enough to have an old laptop from work to actually test everything on bare metal, rather than relying solely on results from a VM. And after some trial and error, I have to say that it really feels like magic to just have everything set up, with minimal effort.

None of this is to say I’ve got the best setup or the coolest rice. This is just me appreciating all the work that went in to create such an amazing OS.

Thank you, NixOS for my first 100 days of pure enjoyment, and absolutely everything else.

At this point you could at least use vim

What's that thing in the pic? Looks like it'd be a nice screensaver.
