I feel like I learned more about linux and my computer by installing arch (before we had the neat installer we have now). So for me, arch is a better learning tool. I do really like nix (havent used it myself, but Im a functional programmer and declarative configuration is my jam) but it’s definitely a better way of managing an installation than arch I imagine. My next distro if arch ever fails me will be an immutable distro, Nix is definitely top 3 for me that I reach for
Same can be said for Arch but people still install it as their first distro.
Because there are people recommending it which is nuts
You should try it.iusearchbtw
Nixos > arch without a doubt
