Oh, I agree. It's why I put up with NixOS. I love what I can accomplish with it. It's a tool for making your own distro. It basically makes the impossible possible. What I'd like to see now is to make the difficult things easy.


The new installer is pretty great. My son’s desktop got hosed recently from ignoring updates and getting too far behind, so I used the visual Nix installer to put a Gnome desktop on there for him. He installs everything from Flathub anyway, so he hasn’t even noticed. Every once in a while I’ll hop on and update it. Silverblue would work about as well, I’d imagine.
