For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

    I just started yesterday in a VM. It’s no stress and you can easily put your configuration on metal after. Pretty fun stuff.

      The most satisfying part of the NixOS process is deploying to bare metal and watching it work exactly as you intend it to

      I have my garuda installation just where and how i want it to be. NixOS just always seemed very interesting, but i don’t want to run it on my daily machine.

        Don’t, you can still install nix into Garuda. Works great as a separate package manager that won’t get in the way.
