After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).
I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?
To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.
You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.
You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.
I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.
It does. RSS is the way IMO.
I use FreshRSS and the chromium RSS subscription extension. I just go to a user’s youtube page and click the extension icon and it subscribes me.
