How is the package situation on NixOS nowadays? Do you find you have to custom install a lot of software or are there native Nix packages for most everything you need?
What kind of learning curve should one expect if migrating from debian/ubuntu based distributions?
- Ericson2314 6y agoThere are existing packages in Nixpkgs for almost everything. Home-manager has firmly emerged as the "configuration per user" tool. I might say, in fact, get comfortable with home-manager and then switch to NixOS, if cold turkey sounds like a lot. Its a very, very different sort of distro, but if you know basic function programming and are willing to do some "unlearning", you should be fine.
