I'm a new Nix user, switching from windows. Saw some nix for bitcoin stuff and thought it'd be a cool idea to start my linux journey there.

I'm interested in nix's modularity and declarative nature.

Running it for years already. Recently my hard drive failed and with my data on a separate drive the replacement of the failing drive and subsequent #NixOS reinstallation was easy.

All the configuration is in configuration.nix, with low-level details abstracted away. Generations, roll-backs, nix-shell -p somepackage to try out something without actualiy installing it, etc.

Found out I cannot go back to regular #Linux (have tried but never got past a live boot environment because it soon became apparent what I would be missing).
