NixOS Adventures - Oliver-Mustoe/Oliver-Mustoe-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki
Recently I have been enjoying NixOS and below details my chronicles with using it
Why am I testing with it?
I always love having fun with random distros - but NixOS has a really cool twist. NixOS makes "reproducible, declarative and reliable systems" according to it's sales pitch, and while the idea to be able to make systems that are all these things seem like a pipe dream - I was intrigued. So far my usage has lived up to the hype!
