      NixOS is also unnecessarily complicated and it's easy for someone that doesn't want to read 1000 pages of documentation to brick your system.

      Probably has its uses, tried it twice myself and both times were a lot of struggling.

      For me even Arch was easier to configure than Nix.

        So far I have broken every Linux distro I used except NixOS.

        And if I were to break it, i could just reboot into the previous system snapshot.

        And I haven't read 1000 pages of docs - from my experience id doubt it even has that many docs.
