Cool! I had a friend using nixos as desktop daily (he also needed for development work at his company) and he ran int osome real usability issues, but which had nothing to do with the gui.
For example, we were at a wework, and he could *NOT* connect to the corporate wifi and had to just use the 'guest' access. The corporate network requires a cert and is tied to your wework account id. I could do it on Ubuntu by following instructions. He tried following the same instructions, me even helping him over his shoulder, and it just simply did not work, even after we walked through all the same steps that I had done on ubuntu. We were both on gnome desktops. And using similar devices. So something was wrong with how the OS handled the networking, not related to the GUI or hardware.
- lillecarl 2y agoNixOS is very "unopinionated" and really quite shit after installation, there are a lot of things a normal distro would bundle and enable that nixos doesn't. Your colleagues problem is not spending years on his config!
- gessha 2y agoAnecdotal evidence: A lot of the “normal” distros woild have the same problem 5-10 years ago.
