For now I use Mint + etckeeper + Timeshift as a form of backup, but I have never had a courage nor need to “try it” and actually restore state 😆

My dream is to have entire operating system state stored as configuration, tracked by a git repo. To be able to know exactly what changed when, to revert back to whatever state I want and quickly copy setup from one device to another. So naturally NixOS caught my attention. I tried it before, once on Virtual Box VM and once on Raspberry Pi and I failed with installation of it on both of them, my weekend was too short :D It was a few years ago, it might get better now.

Why do everyone emphasize the fact that it is Rust based? What difference does it make? Personally, I don’t care whether it’s written in Rust, Cobol or Brainfuck. Badly written software would be buggy no matter the language.

Pretty good article, went into some technical stuff, which surprised me as in Linux world I’m used to articles discussing changes in wallpapers between different distro releases :D
