ruination

How do you go about setting up XMonad with XMobar on Void? Installing it via XBPS results in errors about not being able to find the module 'XMonad', and using Cabal fixes that, but leads to XMobar not being able to find my font and uses a pixelated font instead.

I've seen people use nix-doom-emacs, have it set up standalone, and some have fancy Nix code that's way beyond my understanding for now to set it up. Which one is the recommended way to set it up? Also, how do you get completions in nix-mode?

Posted something similar on the NixOS sublemmy, but it basically boils down to the fact that I tend to switch back and forth between both distros, and I enjoy both very much as both Gentoo and NixOS provide an immense degree of control over my system and allow me to go wild and do whatever I want. But I feel the need to settle on one system and tinker with the other on a VM instead, as this switching back and forth is becoming a time sink and hindering my studies somewhat. The question is, which to use as the main desktop system? Gentoo feels more intuitive to me, but NixOS is definitely powerful at managing complex systems, but then again, I only have a simple desktop system. Another thing that I thought of is that maybe I can somewhat replicate NixOS' rollback feature, which is my absolute favourite feature of it, using a combination of Git and ZFS snapshots? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I've heard that you should be using the appropriate stage3 archive for the profile you want to use, but what exactly are the differences between them? I'm asking this because I want to try doing a Hardened/SELinux/Musl/LLVM install, and there's a profile for that, but not the stage3 archive. I was thinking of starting with either Hardened/Musl or LLVM/Musl. Any thoughts on that?
