Remember the days when everyone and their pet iguana was raving about Arch Linux? You couldn't escape the
ever-so-subtle "I use Arch BTW" remarks in every Linux forum. Well, move over, Arch, because NixOS is here to steal
your thunder! Nowadays, it seems that you can't browse YouTube or read a blog without stumbling upon someone
extolling the virtues of NixOS and how it is the epitome of computing perfection. But hey, who needs critical
analysis when we can jump on the hype train and declare NixOS as the new Arch? Because that's exactly what's going
on. NixOS has now become the self-proclaimed prodigy that's poised to dethrone Arch Linux as the holy grail of Linux
distributions. The time is calling, my friends! It's time for you – the seasoned Linux enthusiast – to dust off your
keyboard warrior capes and embark on a new crusade. So, grab your Tux plushie (or, your pitchforks if you belong to
the world of devils) and let's embark on an adventure through the enigmatic world of NixOS (and let the memes
commence)!
never had that issue before, as long as they have the same version and config
Then you are very lucky. “It worked on my machine” is a meme for a reason.
wasn’t that possible before with snapshotting (btrfs/lvm)?
I haven’t used snapshotting with those before. I guess the difference is that with nix it is done by the package manager by default, with btrfs/lvm you would have to set that up independently (please correct of this is not the case).
