Nixos.
The ability to have my whole system in a git repo is what i have been looking for when i did not know it.
Steep freaking curve though and the documentation kinda blows. But its the distro ive spent the longest on apart from Arch, and i feel quote at home even though most stuff is done differently.
I did some research on guix when i was deciding which one of the two i was going to try as a daily driver.
My conclusion was that choosing guix would mean choosing a smaller community and amount of support for a better language.
Would love your opinion if youve done your research on it. Why choose guix over nixos?

I used both NixOS and GNU Guix System, and my conclusion is the same. Things are already hard on NixOS, in Guix it’s order of magnitudes harder. Not worth it at all. Besides, there’s a flake for using Guix on NixOS, so can just use that.
Also, mixing stable and unstable packages; also nix run/shell/develop. On the other hand, error messages sometimes outcompete those from cpp in being confusing AF 🤣

That sort of thing is another great reason to love nix.
