me too. I broke my system a bunch of times, and eventually just gave up. I remembered the other day that I have a lot of programs installed with it that I don't even want to think about updating. rofi changed it's configuration file format recently, and that was tied up in nix. I am too lazy to fight with it for now, so I've just disabled my config file. It bothers me every time I use it.
- lillecarl 5y agoNixOS is the only system I'm yet to break, and I've been using it at home for 2 years and at work full-time for a couple months. If the system evaluates it'll most likely work, if it doesn't you roll back a generation. I have an Ubuntu container around if I quickly wanna mess with something.
- darau1 5y agoI'm positive it works. My problem was that figuring out why something went wrong was too time consuming, or difficult. I'm sure I could figure it out, but the problem again is time.
