With NixOS, you may need three google searches to solve a problem, but once it's solved it's solved. For my own use, it has been a net improvement over solving the same problems again and again on other distributions. Also: most problems are solved by a single tool (writing nix expressions), so there's a real breakthrough once you get good at it.
