    Nix + home-manager are a much better starting point than NixOS

    • your system still respects FHS and can still use like npm
    • you can still leverage decades of Linux knowledge
    • it’s much easier to slowly build up knowledge than to have to immediately learn everything

      That’s pretty much how I got where I am. Started with Fedora, then Silverblue, then Ublue, then fleek (a custom front end for Home Manager), then, when I saw what Home Manager and Nix could do, dove into NixOS fully.
