You're basically just saying it's unfamiliar, and not universal yet. In my experience, using & configuring NixOS is much simpler and easier than most distros...until it's not, at which point, yes, the difficulty curve is very steep. Even in those cases, though, it's got the nice feature that once it's solved, it's solved. All the config is in one place, and you can apply the same config across all your hosts. You don't get those situations where you get something working after tweaking configs, env vars and systems jobs, and can't remember how to reproduce it. And though some of the conventions around NixOS are pretty arcane and convoluted (though the language itself is pretty simple), it has the advantage that you only need to learn it once and you can use it all over, instead of switching between bash, python, yaml, toml, systemd units and even more obscure formats (nginx, apache, postfix, etc). IMHO, the tradeoff is completely worth it. |
