    I think the Dutch are doing it as well. I’m all for it, when I switched my laptop over from Windows 11 to NixOS, it stopped running at like a 100 degrees while doing nothing more than streaming video and light compiling.

      Sweet, go Netherlands! And I also wanna move my desktop to NixOS! Got any tips or warnings for a first-timer who’s mostly used just Mint?

        I would recommend being familiar with config files and comfortable with the command line and bash. It’s a very powerful being able to rebuild your OS at will. I would also look into Bazzite if you are interested in immutable distros.

        I recommend firing up a virtual pc first with the distro first to get a feel for it.
