I'm tempted to get it as a second phone and run NixOS Mobile on it.

It'll be awful for years. But if many people with my skills & elbow grease levels marinates with it for a few years, it could become special.

It takes guts to be amazing, after all!

Having my daily driver run NixOS is my ultimate goal.

I've been using it for a few years now (across 2 laptops and a tower). For basic usage, it works pretty great. So terminal + internet + basic programs. KDE is wonderful by default and easy to customize (not a NixOS thing). For more specific stuff it can take some elbow grease (packaging software, playing games, more exotic system config). Between the nixpkgs issue tracker and the official docs/wiki, it's pretty easy to figure things out.

And my computer is infinitely hackable and idiotproof at the same time. That's helped me learn a lot of Linux stuff by doing fearlessly.

And this isn't to mention how nice it is that all 3 of my machines' full config is in a monorepo, with shared config abstracted into Nix modules.
