Why I Left NixOS for Ubuntu (fd93.me)

Hey all, thought this might be of interest to some here.

Wrote about why I moved from NixOS to Ubuntu after using it for several months on my daily driver. Suspect that this take is likely to be kind of controversial and court claims of skill issues, which might even be true.

Let me know what you think.

I've tried Arch and others as well, even stuff like Slackware, Bodhi, Void, but I'd say that my preference has generally moved away from doing tinkering / maintenance at all other than for fun or profit. I'd still consider Nix for a server / workstation setup but just not as a daily driver.

I may be a touch biased, but I feel like you might enjoy trying Gentoo one day, especially with the recent official binary package host.

I keep meaning to try Gentoo out but haven't gotten round to it. I think it didn't like VirtualBox or something?
