I love NixOS! Been using it on all my devices since January and probably never going back :)
It all sinply just works™! Don’t worry about configuration :) As long as you’re not using relatively obscure software, you’ll be more than fine reading the docs/manual :)
If you still want to use obsure stuff though, the community on matrix is very active and helpful! Plus most (interesting) projects have at least one or two very dedicated Nix fanatics (/maintainers) willing to help others :D
I’m more of a bottom, if you know what I mean.
At the gym I often sort the plates on the racks I take minr from (not only mine).
I do it mostly out of selfishness, since it bothers me a lot when they’re not sorted, but hey.
Immerese yourself into the language. Do everything in your power to convert your surroundings in such a way, that you’re forced to use the language:
I’m going to cheat and say Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul.
OpenBoard. Die Beste!
Warrior! Steven Segal!
Yeah, it really isn’t for everyone. The advantagees it provides is mostly for developers and companies. If you’re a company, managing a NixOS fork is useful, so all users of the system are on the same page always.
Otherwise the package manager itself can be used on its own. It’s neat being able to use packages from basically any distro without even needing to use a VM.
Nix is daunting indeed, but cool for those who want such tooling
Use templates like these https://github.com/qjcg/awesome-typst#cv with the official online application (https://typst.app). It’s almost as easy to use as markdown, and almost as powerful as LaTeX (while bring a million times easier to customize).
I’d recommend https://typst.app/. Super easy to structure text like LaTeX and 100 times easier to use :)

Not entirely agreeing, but there are some things that are not quite there yet. For me it’s mostly:
Otherwise I don’t really have complaints. If anything LaTeX was the one thing setting me back (and don’t even get me started on Word).
There are official ones and there’s also https://github.com/qjcg/awesome-typst
I took one of those and easily adjusted it to my needs. It’s so easy and intuitive! And fast!!!
Typst is awesome and sooo fast! I literally ported my thesis mid-way to it and haven’t looked back since. Love it all the way.
Was expecting a lot more Demon Slayer references here :(
Where does NixOS place within these?
All the needed AMD stuff is pretty well documented in the manual. I’m gaming on NixOS with even my “relatively old” AMD GPU.
The only time I heard about needing that was when using plain “nix” (not NixOS), as in using Nix under any other OS, to run graphical applications. I haven’t touched nixgl at all, and don’t see the need for it.
Literally my terminals (kitty is my main) + foot. Both working easily either under main NixOS config or Home-Manager. What’s supposed to not be working there?
Literally don’t know what your problems are/where they lie. I’m a Linux noob (don’t even have the patience for Arch Wiki + install), coming from Pop_OS to NixOS and I’m happy it’s all so easy. I’ve installed it on my main PC and two separate laptops and so happy to just share (basically) the same config on all of them.
