I'm currently running Arch and it's great, but I'm noticing I'm not staying on the ball in regards to updates. I've been reading a bit about Nix and NixOS and thinking of trying it as my daily driver. I've got a Lenovo x1 xtreme laptop, I don't do much gaming (except OSRS), use firefox, jetbrains stuff, bitwarden, remmina, obsidian, and docker.

Is anyone running NixOS as their daily? How are you liking it and are there any pitfalls / stuff you wish you knew before?

Yes! It's honestly great of you can accept not going outside of the nixpkgs ecosystem. I'm not enough of a wizard yet to do much more than build a fhs environment to run some outside apps, but for the most part nixos has everything. Oh except KDE didn't have working network manager integration, buuut that was probably something I didn't set up correctly in my nixos config

I do reboot into Ubuntu for Minecraft, but nothing else

    FYI: Minecraft and PrismLauncher are packaged.

    Does prismlauncher do bedrock edition? I saw that mcpelauncher is on its way, that's what I'm using on Ubuntu
