LoL my current Gentoo system was installed like 12 years ago and moved on 5 different hardware platforms without a proper reinstall.
I have said myself to never peek in the /etc directory for any reason! 😅
Nixos is amazing just saying
For me it’s installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.
I have a USB drive bay. Just swap disks to play around with other distros. It’s pretty neat too
Well now I feel silly for not thinking about doing that.
It actually works quite well. Seperate home partition and off you go 😁
Wouldn’t that clutter your home partition since every distro you install has some things to put on there?
I’m distro shopping right now, so I made a large “home” partition, and several smaller OS partitions (GPT FTW!). If I want things to “sync” (Docs, Downloads, .mozilla, .bashrc) I delete the /home/user/Music and symlink it to my /mnt/sharehome/Music .
NixOS is great, you can even have it automatically reinstall and wipe your garbage with Impermanence lol
reinstalling the os because im to lazy to clean the drives
NixOS.
I actually do that. It forces me to backup the most necessary things and throw away the rest, hence making the OS feel cleaner.
