re: nixos@ar yeah i usually just go with arch on desktops/laptops, when hardware and usecase allows it, but if shit hits the fan (so, unstable "stable" kernel which was a way too common occurance for me during 6.x era [surprisingly not an arch moment]) i just go to windows and fedora for server stuff so i am "normal" i suppose
re: nixos@jeder "shit hitting the fan" is the number #1 reason why i don't want to use typical systems relying on non-atomic in-place upgrades. i've had windows/*bsds/various linux distros fail for me because of that. a scar i don't want to reopen. fs snapshotting kinda sorta solves that, but comes with its own can of worms i'd rather avoid, especially around various forms of databases.
re: nixos@jeder as for kernel bugs on linux⦠i'm lucky with my hw choices, i guess, as those either get fixed quickly, or i find good enough workarounds.
