As the title implies, should I do it? I love Arch so far, and I can fix most issues that pop out. However, I sometimes wish to start fresh without too much hassle, but I get a feeling NixOS isn’t as mature as Arch.

Have any of you used both, and if so, what do you miss from Arch? What are you grateful for in NixOS?

    If nixos has been around this long how come it’s only now starting to pick up in popularity?

      I wish I knew. I learned of it and started playing with it last year, with me using it full time since Feb of 2023, with a couple of hopping and then coming back to NixOS

      Why was my comment deleted? I certainly didn’t delete it and it was a perfectly legitimate question I think asking about why NixOS is only getting popular now
