> I've been tempted to use NixOS for my self hosted setup but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I recently tried nixos and after spending a week trying it out, I switched my home network and 2 production servers to nixos. It has been running as expected for 3,4 months now and I LOVE it. Migrating the servers was way easier than the workstations. My homeserver was setup in a few hours.

I also recently bought a jetson orin nano to play and learn on and I set up nixos with jetpack-nixos there too. I know with gentoo this would have been a (much) more painful process.

I have used gentoo for over 20 years and have always felt very much at home. What annoyed me was that the compile times on older computers were simply unbearable. Compiling GHC on my 2019 dell xps just takes 6 hours or something like that.
