I'm always behind when it comes to Linux news; but a commenter made mention of NixOS and it sparked an interest. Here I am a day later, having never heard of NixOS before; and I can honestly say that spite my love for Arch; NixOS is a legitimate contender for KISS.

Gaming with an Nvidia RTX 4090 24GB OC GPU with enabled RTX support; I can honestly say that I may have found a new home. I'm just not sure how I can defend my beloved Arch Linux from the seduction of a SINGLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION? You've got to be kidding me.

Put forth the efforts and labors of initially configuration NixOS and after that; you'll say goodbye to re-installations forever.

Want to test out a software before committing it to your baked configuration? Cool, install software through the nix shell and give a trial run. Don't like it? Just " sudo nixos-rebuild switch " and you simply roll back to your previous build.

You do like this software and you want to commit it to your stable build configuration? Awesome, just "sudo nano /etc/nixos/configuration.nix" and add it to your package list and rebuild!

I haven't been this excited about a distribution since well.... Arch.

And if you're wondering, you can bet your sweet ass I'll be doing a Gaming Montage here very soon!
