Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”
Where nixos?
between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.

Or it comes as a second low with an even higher peak at the end.
yeah! there’s a punishing learning curve but it’s sooo frikkin powerful once you get it. for my NixOS config on WSL2, I have it cross-compile
age-plugin-yubikeyfor Windows, then stuff the (absolute) path in a wrapper script to useagenixwithpassageas agit-credential-helperstorage, all of which gets set up usinghome-manageras my default git config. and it all just gets automatically built and configured when Inixos-rebuild switch, so I can sync it to my other machines.unfortunately I have no idea how it works anymore lol. that’s the problem, it’s so resilient I forget how to change it! but I can’t imagine doing that in any other Linux distro.
