As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this “relic” in IT terms… On this machine i tested:

Distro Performance
Fedora MEGA slow
Ubuntu OKish
LDME Fast
Debian Fast
NixOS VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

    Generally yes.

    Here is two examples from my recent experience:

    • Run custom realtime software on rt and non-rt kernel: Huge difference when I look at milliseconds and latency.
    • I ran Minecraft recently on the standard and rt kernel, with realtime it performs much better (no dGPU)

    I will look into nixOS definitely. Last time I checked must have been 2018 hehe

      Right if you have applications with rt constraints, you’ll obviously need a rt-capable OS but that’s more a matter of it being available as a feature, rather than being performant enough.
