LoL my current Gentoo system was installed like 12 years ago and moved on 5 different hardware platforms without a proper reinstall.
I have said myself to never peek in the /etc directory for any reason! 😅
Nixos is amazing just saying
For me it’s installing a new OS every six months for a fun new experience.
Then there’s me, reinstalling the OS because it’s quicker than installing the three months’ worth of updates I forgot about.
NixOS is great, you can even have it automatically reinstall and wipe your garbage with Impermanence lol
NixOS.
I actually do that. It forces me to backup the most necessary things and throw away the rest, hence making the OS feel cleaner.
I thought the point of Linux was not doing this every year like with Windows?
Realistically you don’t have to if you’re not constantly tinkering, but if you’re changing a lot of low-level stuff without knowing what you’re doing, you have the ability to break things. If you don’t know how to fix them, then it’s easier to just reformat. Basically it’s a skill issue lol.
reinstalling the os because im to lazy to clean the drives
So am I the only one distro hopping for fun?
Yes and everyone is talking about it
