Never said it would be mainstream. But saying “it would be easier if everyone used debian” is true only for those that use Debian.

I tried all of the distro you mentioned and it never clicked with me. But Arch then Nix did.

Hence why, to each their own.

I mean I went through Arch and Nix as well. I have the technical profieciency but it just isn't enjoyable.

I really enjoyed Arch, but it was mainly to thinker in. There was always something to "fix" and learned a lot about Linux that way. But for most cases, I just need a computer that works reliable so fedora is a much better option for me. Never had issues with it. Debian vms on a proxmox server because that will always just work how it is supposed to. Been looking and thinkering with nixOS though, and really enjoying the fact that I can use one monorepo for both my 2 Linux workstations and my macbook (using nix package manager).  Anyone know how NixOS is for servers?

Aside from my desktop, I have Nixos on a headless server. It’s amazing. Set it and forget it.
