I'd recommend NixOS, for non expert users.
If you are interested in 'what' and not in 'how' or 'why', then declarative nature of Nix configuration will do nicely.
It can be as simple as
services.nfs.server.enable = true;
services.nfs.server.exports = ''
/export 192.168.0.0/16(rw,no_root_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check)
'';
- psibi 10y agoAs someone who uses NixOS now and then, I disagree with you. Right now, NixOS itself is for expert users. The installation itself will be problematic for non expert users.
- aangjie 10y agoI can second that, I've tried installing it a couple of times and gave up after some driver/hardware issue. I like the idea, and the virtualbox environment works without any problems.
- xaduha 10y agoI'm probably past a point where I can look at things from beginner perspective and I also don't use graphic mode, so for me it was pretty straightforward, especially when using EFI boot. One thing I never configured before was wireless in Linux. In NixOS it was pretty much a couple of lines in config files, after that it 'just worked'.
