[LeftWM] Went back to Arch due to NixOS' compatibility issues. Made a nice little setup!

Yea, if NixOS hadn't tempted me with all the good stuff people are saying about it, I'd probably have stayed with Arch.
What tempted you and what made you ditch it?
Mostly all the declarative package management. It sounds like there's no way to ever have a missing dependency ever again, but in reality, 99% of the time the thing you're trying to run isn't in Nixpkgs and doesn't have a shell.nix.
That's why you have to learn how to make derivations!
i tried, i really tried but it just didnt work.
