    I was hopping several distros.

    Ubuntu. Nah not my thing.

    Fedora. Mhh yeah but I have Nvidia isn’t there sth. For me?

    Ah yes Nobara. Nice a distro from the glorious eggroll guy.

    Switched because of stupid reasons… To:

    Debian-trixie. Cool that’s the distro I will stay.

    My system gets somehow into a boot loop after 60 seconds of logging in…

    Ok let’s try Linux Mint. Mhh on my laptop it works better… Nah my hardware doesn’t like Mint.

    Nixos. Holy shit is that difficult to use. I love it! Stable as fuck. Bleeding edge almost. Newer gonna use sth. else. That thing is amazing and a ton of work to do anything.

      NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.

        I can install Vanilla Arch in 10 minutes, how is EndeavourOS “a pain” ?

        I mean I love it but I really can’t recommend it to anyone who wants to use their PC without spending several hours to do simple things.

      Only to drop them all in favor of nixos. However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix

        That’s my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn’t had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was… something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.

          Well documentation is still not great. But I can deal with it.

          The first step is to really understand how nix works and how nix-shell -p works.

          Then probably know that autoPatchelfHook exists

          And sth. You have to watch out for if you install sth. With a daemon or a service you need to enable it additionally to the installation.

          So for example for open-iscsi you need to enable the service.open-iscsi = enable so it can work.

          Flakes are still a nogo for me. I don’t understand them and I don’t want to deal with them until I get the rest into my head.
