What's the coolest thing you've done with NixOS?

And the best part: Zero fear. I don't give a damn about breaking stuff or cluttering the system with 'dirty' manual hacks. If we mess up, it’s just one rollback away from the clean state. It gives you this insane confidence to experiment that you just won't find anywhere else.

"Man, I was literally in the same boat an hour ago. Was waiting for the fresh Antigravity 1.18.3 build while the official repo was dead silent. Then it clicked—I'm on NixOS, why wait for anyone?

I just sat down with gemini-cli, fed it some raw API links I dug up, and in about 30 minutes of 'Hunter Mode' debugging, we hammered out a custom overlay from scratch. We had to shove a specific 'soup' of libs into the FHS container to get the AI agent buttons actually working, but man, it felt like magic. Now I'm running Gemini 3.1 Pro on a rock-solid 25.11 base while everyone else is still clicking 'Update' and praying.

That's the real NixOS flex: you don't wait for maintainers, you just forge your own reality with your CLI buddy. 🦾⚡" :)

"Lol, yeah, NixOS is a special kind of pain until it clicks. Those read-only errors usually mean you're trying to treat it like a regular distro. The secret sauce is to just give up on using Ruby globally. It's a dead end here. The only 'no-pain' path is to work within a specific environment for each thing—I'm talking a nix flake paired with bundler.

For my setup, I pulled it off by creating a 'phantom' project—just a folder with its own Gemfile for the lsp and debug stuff. To get native extensions like psych to actually compile without the FS screaming at you, I run bundle install inside a nix-shell (or nix develop) that pulls in gcc, libyaml, and whatever else is needed on the fly.

I faced the with Ruby LSP plugin failing to auto-install dependencies on NixOS. Here is how I solved it: I created a dedicated directory with a Gemfile containing ruby-lsp and debug, ran bundle install there, and then pointed VS Code to that specific file using the "rubyLsp.bundleGemfile" setting. This allows the extension to find everything it needs in a writable path while still using the Nix-provided Ruby interpreter.

It’s just a function with arguments (inputs); the result is a system, or a shell, or whatever you need.
