  • I have to disagree with this, with home-manager you can pretty much put just put your normal config files inside your NixOS config and map them into wherever they’re meant to go, except now they’re managed by nix

    The built in config options are really nice but you don’t have to use them in the slightest as long as the package itsself is in nixpkgs


  • Debian based, arch based, rhel based are all somewhat different and have different package managers (with flatpak, appimage and snap that might be less important nowadays though)

    Nobara comes with all the stuff for gaming, not everyone who uses Linux knows exactly what they need to install themselves

    NixOS is fantastic and drastically different from all the others

    NixOS, silverblue, vanilla are all immutable which makes a massive difference

    Also not everyone wants to install their own DE, so if they want something like cinnamon, pantheon, KDE they need a distro that comes with it preinstalled
