@kravemir Because there are a ton of issues I'd have to blog about.

For starters read my thread: https://graz.social/@publicvoit/112197919942153866

@publicvoit @kravemir When a easy to use module doesn't exist in Nix, you usually have to fallback to writing appropriate config files or gsettings commands for gnome for instance.

I agree it can be intensive.

I saw you dislike the nix language. Have you considered guix?

@publicvoit thanks for the answer.

Yes, NixOS has its flaws,...

However, so far it's the best Linux distro, that lets one setup system in declarative way, instead of imperative.

I.e. the best "docker for OS", AFAIK.
