From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because of the way it works, you can try out on a VM for a bit and move your config over to real hardware trivially if you end up liking it. That's how I did it before I realized how immature it's rocm support is and had to switch back to arch
I installed Nix in a container, so I can learn some things before I move to it. So far, I am a bit dissappointed, that it is still using Xorg.
It doesn't have to. I ran Sway on Nix the entire time I used it, and I know Hyprland supports Nix as well
That ist interesting. Do you think a gnome session using wayland would also work?
I don't see why it wouldn't. You may need to enable a config option or two though. Documentation isn't NixOS's strongest suit.
Thx, I'll figure it out
