  • NixOS! Definitely not for beginners, and also definitely not for people who are used to the arch way and want something similar.

    It’s a declarative OS, versus most Linux distros which are imperative:

    • Declarative: You define exactly what is what, such as what packages should be on your system, your configs, etc.
    • imperative: you modify those stuff yourself after initialization (installing).

    So, instead of having to install KDE and change my display manager to use it, I just add this line to my configuration file:

    services.xserver.plasma5.enable = true;
    

    If something wrong happens, I just change the config file to its old version. I can also share this config, and then the other person can run nixos-rebuild to get my exact system configuration.
