    Very relatable. Half the solutions I find online are for distros that do things slightly different that whatever I’m using.

      Just use Nixos.

      It does things so differently almost no tutorial from any other distro works.

      Ah glorious Nixos

        learning Nixos is like undergoing a lengthy, tortuous hazing ritual in exchange for mastery of certain powerful blood magicks.

        I bear the lambda snowflake on my arm, a sigil remnant of those dark months.

      What you mean you don’t enjoy the challenge of going through page after page of solutions, going “hmm, that doesn’t quite look right/make sense/sound familiar but I’ll try it any- oh, the dependencies are missing, well nvm on this option…”?

        No. I actively hate it to be real, but I leave that frustration for future me since my OS is pretty damn reliable and rock solid 90% of the time.

        I also learned to do monthly updates instead of weekly because I updated once this year, and every time afterwards I went to update, it would always destroy my display. (Nvidia card user here, I didn’t know I would be moving to Linux so I didn’t know how stupid nvidia can be on Linux lol). It took a literal two or three months of trying to update before it did without any issue whatsoever!

        On the upside, I was able to update last month and everything worked fully like it used to. Just weird ass behavior sometimes.
