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.

Someone recently recommended PopOs to me. Any thoughts on that?

They're between releases right now, but once COSMIC desktop is ready and they release Pop 24.04 I'll probably try it out. More likely that I'm moving to Xubuntu Minimal 24.04 on the daily driver though.

PopOS is great OOTB but I've become attached to rofi and XFCE recently and like the old-school "apps are utilities" style of Linux desktops over PopOS / Mint which try to bundle everything together.

Xubuntu Minimal 24.04

Why not just do Mint XFCE then? At least that way there's no snap to deal with.
