Still useless. Software change, the configs i make today might not make sense or even work in 3-5 years.
Nix and stuff (ansible etc) only make sense if you have to reinstall your systems multiple times in a single week (fine if your hobby is reinstalling linux on your laptop).
But if you do a full reinstall once every five years then it’s largely an exercise in futility.
- k8svet 3y agoExcept that Nix literally solves that problem by abstracting over the underlying config. Y'all don't know what you're talking about and once again the Ansible comparison belies in. >reinstall once every five years then it’s largely an exercise in futility. You are as wrong as you think your are right, I'd know I've been using NixOS for 8 years. You're just wrong.
