Before I moved to Nix, I tried Debian after Arch. I used Arch for 9 months approx. I used Debian 7 days.
At start I felt stability, but then I needed uv, neovim with lazyvim support, fd.
So I had to compile from source in case of neovim (because its version was lower in stable than lazyvim requires to use) and use custom installation for uv instead of package-managed install.
Seems like not a big deal. But what’s the point of having “stable” package manager with outdated packages if I need to get them with other method than sudo apt install?
So, I decided to find something that will be still safe to use and I will get all packages I need.
Now I’m trying NixOS and I already like it. Generational updates, declarative config. Secure, reproducible and works flawless!
