hahahaha nice. I hope I don't have to dual boot windows. My laptop is fast enough for VMs

I never went back to windows. I had my stuff in a separate partition so when I went back to Fedora or Arch, I had my stuff there

That's not the point, because it's not what the OP asked for

If you're gonna be like that I could also suggest to OP to move to Windows or MacOS 🤷‍♂️

For many it's a radical change in paradigm, and I assume many just want to understand it well

NixOS is as mature as arch, I'd say, but because of its nature it has issues here and there, but rarely so.

That said, the learning curve for nix/nixos is very very very steep, so good luck learning. It took me a while for me to use it nicely, and even then, I'm nothing more than a beginner. Even so, I'm quite comfortable and pretty much can't use any other linux distro.

Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it's great. There's even the NUR, but I havent used it.

Fedora has COPR, Opensuse has the OBS (which also works for other distros), NixOS (my beloved) has overlays...

Thanks, I used to use Bing as my default search engine for a while and it sucked for anything if you needed more than the 1st page of results
