I have to say the immutability isn’t what got me. It’s that i can propagate changes to all my machines (i have three, with different configurations of work and private users) without fuss. i have one git repo that contains the Config and all i do is git pull && sudo nixos-rebuild switch after i login and it’s done. reinstalling is also somewhat trivial and once the installer is done everything is as i want it to be. which is just bonkers to me. i love it to bits. before i had a super brittle system of dotfiles that regularly broke. nevermore

rebooted, restored, invincible!

There are no dotfiles! There is only the Config!

NixOS is completely plant based

absolutely not. look at nixos.

On the official page it says that it is pronounced For Jay Yo (at least close enough)

laughs/cries in embedded we are currently changing from mbed to zephyr rtos. at the beginning it was decided we will never replace mbed, the thing i am currently replacing, so all the code is using parts of mbed everywhere. there’s not enough space on the chip to have both mbed and zephyr in parallel. yay. you desktop/server/web/whatever people don’t how good you have it.

have a look at nix

What are you talking about? I’ve had 3 Kobos (because I broke 2; Aura, Aura HD, now a Forma) and my current one keeps charge for 3-4 months with daily use, and it’s the worst of the three. That’s 3-4 charges a year. How much longer would you want the battery to last?
