@underlap @davidak I moved away from my long-time Arch system to NixOS. Almost immediately I moved every machine I own (and vps I rent) to NixOS.
Imagine Arch with all the latest packages, a rich community, and none of the manual steps involved in setting up the system or installing and configuring services. Your whole system configurations goes in a "configuration.nix" file that lets you build and reproduce your exact system.
