Someone using Arch, by the way, in 3... 2... 1...

Isn't is NixOS, btw now?

Don’t install NixOS. Seriously. It is insanity

I’d be willing to argue that running anything OTHER than NixOS is insanity. Except maybe Debian. Everyone loves Debian.

Is it? Haven't met any very forthcoming NixOS users yet, but time will tell.

Their recommendation usually starts with a disclaimer, and ends with "But it's worth it, cause you can easily clone your machine".
For me, one look at https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#ch-configuration and https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options is enough to know it's way too much hassle for me. I'll stick with Slackware.
