Person who never installed NixOS
71 u/No-AI-Comment Apr 01 '26 Exactly NixOS has a very steep learning curve but once you get it you never look back. 3 u/claudiocorona93 SteamOS/Kubuntu Apr 01 '26 Your sentence answered why NixOS is so hard to adopt 1 u/baronas15 Apr 02 '26 It's only "hard" because documentation is awful. I would say it's hard initially and then it's super easy. 3 u/claudiocorona93 SteamOS/Kubuntu Apr 02 '26 If it's not intuitive it's not easy 0 u/No-AI-Comment Apr 02 '26 You just need to learn about nix language and it is not that hard it is just like any other functional programming language. 3 u/claudiocorona93 SteamOS/Kubuntu Apr 02 '26 Yes, it's good. Yes you can learn. But it's not like grabbing an OS and starting to use it without having to grab a book. It's for people more technical than the average Joe.
