As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this “relic” in IT terms… On this machine i tested:

Distro Performance
Fedora MEGA slow
Ubuntu OKish
LDME Fast
Debian Fast
NixOS VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

    I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro, got 16GB RAM but still a spinning hard drive. How does it compare to Pop!_OS?

      I guess PopOS performs like vanilla mint or like Ubuntu. NixOS feels very snappy even on Gnome on a 8gb machine from bloody 2012

        Would you like the point some differences like inteface (UI-UX), driver support, features, performance etc?

      I’ve ran both pop_os and nixos on the same laptop, albeit a newer laptop, and they felt the same to me performance wise. My experience is that if they’re using the same kernel, same init system, same desktop env, etc they’ll prob feel the same
