NixOS is my new daily driver after a hard start and many copy+pasta from Github Repos ^^

    When I first started my job, a coworker set me up with a machine running NixOS. I gave it a year before I binned it for Ubuntu. I just… didn’t see the point? The troubleshooting wasted so much of my time for seemingly no benefit.

      The config file for managing basically the whole OS is amazing to begin with. Also the fact that the system is freshly rebuilt every update is neat too. And there is something where if a certain package requires a certain version of a library it will be installed alongside the current version just incase. Avoiding dependency hell.

      About troubleshooting, the official wiki for nixos got made this year so it finally will start to make sense to new users. I used to use arch because of their amazing wiki but now I use nixos since there is an active effort to make it easier.

      Yeah right now this graph says that on other OSs, your gaming skill steadily improves as you play.

      But by the time you’ve learned and set up NixOS, your gaming skills will be crazy powerful but you’ve plateued.

      …I guessssss it could make sense? XD

    Just learn UNIX then you inherently know everything except windows

    Does this graph mean what it is supposed to mean for the joke to work? The black line means I learn much quicker with less time investment, i.e. it is easier than all the others.

        That is a common misunderstanding of how learning curves work. A steep learning curve means your skill increases more rapidly with the invested time. That means the subject is easier or more intuitive.
