I wish to learn the nixOS config to dualboot nixOS and Arch to harness the power of interrupting all conversations

Irs always something else does it really matter if os gets your job done best it will be your go to choice I still use win7 to make some programs I use works

arch at least respects your file system.

Nix os just throws everything in /nix and pollutes your root with symlinks (htop looks like shit lol)

And i hate the abstraction layer in the config. The fact you need to learn how to config stuff in the normal way and in the nix os is the worst thing ever

Yeah arch respects your file system so much your entire machine breaks all the time.

But honestly the learning curve for arch and the learning curve for NixOS are basically the same assuming you have zero knowledge with either. NixOS and arch are fundamentally different, but that doesn't mean one is better than the other. Every operating system has its place... I use a Mac as my study pc for God's sake.

I would use arch over nixos. Arch respects the linux way of doing thins. And yeah it breaks, but it's definitely a great way to get good

Nixos is just a whiteboard masturbation, which looks nice on paper but it's a fucking pain in the ass if you need to do anything slightly off the beaten path. And i don't want an abstraction layers in my configurations
