I've recently installed NixOS on an old Thinkpad I got from work, and I was pleasantly surprised by the graphical installer. Even though NixOS is far from a beginner distro, removing friction in the initial installation process is a good thing.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt's very new. Just a year ago you still had to partition/install everything by hand, which was a pain but still worth doing.
- lvncelot 4y agoYeah, that was what I remembered, hence the surprise. It wasn't too bad, coming from arch, but creature comforts are welcome nonetheless.
- n_jd 4y agoI was also pleasantly surprised, especially by how easy it was to setup disk encryption. I probably wouldn't have done so otherwise.
- 331c8c71 4y agoI set up LUKS with NixOs like 5 years ago without any prior experience and it was straightforward (just followed the docs). I wish that dealing with nix/nixos was always that easy...
