  • Recently took the leap to try it out and it’s surprisingly nice. Especially thanks to the automatic rollbacks, in case something breaks. Only took me a few years of getting nagged and learning about it, and multiple attempts at reading through the documentation.

    But for a beginner? No way. NixOS has a serious documentation issue. Also the community structure is a big plus in Debian.










  • Distribution support outside of the standard Ubuntu/tuxedo os was terrible for a long time. The fan support was essentially broken on my laptop except on the officially supported systems. Your can manually compile the (bloaty node.js) tuxedo control center, but instructions on GitHub are wrong and incomplete.

    I recently saw that they now added support for Debian 13 though, so that might be worth another try.

    There is also a community project tuxedo-rs but with limited device support. Doesn’t support fan control on my device but is much nicer than the original otherwise.
