      I always enjoyed NixOS, but then I got some CRAZY hardware issues. Like my monitor wouldn’t turn on crazy even though it’d be working fine for a while.

        That sounds more like a kernel issue than a distro issue. Were you on regular linux or linux_latest?

          Regular. Yeah I’ve NEVER hit anything like that before. My only guess is something in one of the kernel patches ran into my hardware and my hardware nope’d out.

        Well, …everything?

        Conceptually, endavour/Arch are closer to Windows than they are to NixOS. The only commonality is that they’re made up of the same software components.

        The way you set up a software environment is totally different. I’d highly recommend some research on what NixOS’ declarative configuration is and what it means in practice.
