Is anyone else using NixOS? I've been on it for a while and loving it. Curious to know if other anons have tried it, and what their experiences were.

I want to, but i'm not good with the installer.
I'd rather use GUIX instead.

Yeah, Guix looks attractive, especially if you like lisp. I'm more of a haskell sort of person, so the stack integration makes NixOS better for me.

I can't program so the benefits of the internal structure of the OS are lost to me. But I've been wanting to learn Scheme for a bit but I get confused with starting and how it works. I also have trouble with Emacs and I can only do basic stuff with it form the tutorial.

NixOS only really pays off if you're deploying immutable infrastructure or developing stuff locally. I guess it's quite a lot more niche than other distros.
Rollback of configuration is cool.
