 I just can't make friends with nixos 😅 
 I'm the latest-adopter nostr dev/bitcoiner in existence I'm pretty sure 
 I only got a smart phone in 2015 or something. I didn't even try mobile tethering until a few months ago 
 ignore this silly person... nixos is hipster junk... stick with ubuntu 
 That's because you don't use your servers at a production level. NixOS really is an elegant solution. 
 mleku is the definition of hipster regarded. brainless go maxi. 
 calling names is brainless/brainmore 4 healthy deals             .lfg     ffs!!       866255

 Sounds like me installing Qubes, I mean I have never been able to get everything to work the way I want it to in Qubes but I use it anyway. 
 Been using mxlinux for years with no issues. 
 This. 
 I've literally never had an issue with apt on Ubuntu. Then again I don't have a lot of 3rd party repositories to pull from.  
 I personally prefer automated deployment scripts 
 this doesn’t stop you from getting into an invalid state that is hard to recover from. mutable system state will bitrot your system over time. 
 yes, by that I also include a way to discard everything and start over

the only permanent thing in a service should be its data volumes 
 I’ve never had to start over on my machine for over 10 years, every switch to a new state is like a fresh install.
