As a huge NixOS enthusiast I wholeheartedly agree with you. It works amazing for me but only because my autistic ass hyperfixated on it to the point of tinkering with it every afternoon for months.
I would love to be able to recommend NixOS to people but unfortunately, the lack of good documentation is a huge problem.
Relatable 💯 I had a basic functional system after the third time trying NixOS. But then I started trying to get my old workflow and programs back and anything missing from nixpkgs was such a pain.
But I persevered and now keep trying to get others ~~interested~~ to share the pain, but they (rightfully) aren't very excited about the prospects. These are people working in tech and who have written code for at least 5 years BTW.
Unfortunately my efforts of communicating problems and solutions to the NixOS community mostly fall upon deaf ears or resistance. Maybe it's the way I communicate it. Dunno.
