It's not NixOS I'm bothered about, it's all the stuff I've installed on Arch over the last few years - like yq, I use it once in a blue moon.
The main reason I'm switching to NixOS is that it has configuration.nix , flakes and home-manager. Put it like this a while back I struggled to get wasm containers working in docker, I did a lot of faffing including g I stalling extra binfmt's different wasm runtime, only to realise that wasm wasn't available in the version of docker I was using, so I installed beta, broke a whole load of stuff.
My core use case is if I break stuff then I can go back a gen or two. Which is what I've been trying out on an old spare laptop.
I'm pretty much upto speed on searching stable and u stable packages and option but thank anyway
Are you keeping nix config in git? Between generations and source control you should be covered.
