as someone who used NixOS on desktop for two years, using AerynOS shows NixOS is not really good for that use case yet (assuming you’re using what nixpkgs provides and not doing a major amount of overrides and patches and using alternative repositories).

It’s staggering how much more polished AerynOS is to NixOS on desktop. So my current take, AerynOS is great for an intermediate users desktop, NixOS is a good option for server.

thank you :D

i can also see 21 is the latest LTS version so that sounds like a good reason for that compromise too!

I thought that was the Duolingo mascot for a minute hehehe :3
