Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.
I use NixOS btw
same here! haven't borked my system once since using nixOS
Oh I have, but then I just roll back.
Lucky you, straight up doesn't work on my new laptop.
Tried the unstable installer?
Installation worked, it was just the usual Nvidia stuff and this time it was way above my skills.
Ahh man gotta love NVIDIA. Most of my machines have an NVIDIA GPU, but I've had only a few minor issues along the way. Mostly from me not reading things correctly.
Saw issues with flickering electron applications, sleep somehow running the GPU until my battery was drained, hyprland just saying not today and random crashes here and there.
Systems are pretty stable now, laptop runs fine in hybrid mode (AMD / NVIDIA) and I removed almost all electron applications.
I've found if I can't figure something out I'll start a new module for another package. But I guess if it's something "mission critical" in your case a GPU then it's pretty hard to do much else.
Yeah, I need GPU for CUDA, so it needs to work. It also doubles as my gaming laptop, which I could live without, but it would be suboptimal.
Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.
Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don't have look at NixOS anymore. [=
