My opinion that NixOS is really only primarily suitable for server use is hardening again

@star Yeah agreed, desktop NixOS is a pain in the butt. Whole extra hobby on its own. I love it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a reason to want it already

@stellavie @fugi @star beats keeping configuration on three machines in sync for me, so I still consider it worth the effort – but if you're only running a single desktop machine, I imagine it's a lot of effort for much less benefit

@star what happened? /gen

i honestly cant use anything else than declarative os

but also note that you dont need everything stateless, like some people are against home manager, because home configs are fluid

i for example gave up on setting firefox and gnome declaratively

@zenmaya I have a very simple issue with git that would be one command normally but it's been taking me 30mins already and I still don't know what's going on and why it doesn't work

I have to break out of the cycle of "just one more config update and then it'll work girlbro, trust me"

@star I currently use it at work for a machine.

It is semi-server like.
Accessible via network/ssh do to workloads on..

on the other hand also with gui and preinstalled programs (vscode, python, ..) so that temporary student workes have a workplace additionally to their laptop/pc-pools.
And it sometimes is easier to just "work on the machine" in front of you with gui than using SSH (i mean .. they are historians.. not computer science students).

@star especially because my git-repos that they fork for things have a direnv & default.nix setting up additional properties if necessary.

so .. for non-root users that work on a narrow set of things it IS quite good.

(also setting up zfs on 2 different sized HDDs with raid the size of the smaller disk and "overflow" on the bigger one additionally to ext4 on / is quite tricky with other OS .. 😅 )
