Questions for the GuixSD and NixOS users: 1) Are these kind of systems overkill for the desktop user? 2) How easy is it to customize/tweak these systems in the manner that Gentoo does? So, building from source by tweaking the software

I was happy KDE user for very long time - first 3.x, then 4 (even with all those glitches and bugs at the very beginning). Then I had 7-8 years break off Linux and last year decided to install it on my new desktop machine. Went with Plasma

That is the "curse" of Linux I always had difficulty to understand: something does not work at all or the way I like it - switch the god-damn OS (= distro) where it works instead biting the bullet and trying to fix it. It's i
