   Went through the same some time ago.. It's fun and all, but after a while I just do not feel like running it anymore for various reasons. I spent some time learning what I needed to more easily develop the software I work on - on NixOS, but after a while I jumped back to another OS. I usually run debian, but this time I decided to give OpenSuse tumbleweed a shot, so that's what I run now.

     I've decided #nixos is not for me. It has a lot of useful capabilities, but in day-to-day usage, the complexity of passing different SDKs and development environments through to the #jetbrains IDEs that I use, is just too frustrating.

     After also trying arch, void, and a few other 'new' distros, I am heading back to #Debian 12.

     Along with #qtile (probably) as a Window Manager, and with #distrobox providing the ability for extra diversity, it should provide a stable yet flexible #linux setup.
