I’m like an intermediate Linux user I’m definitely not an expert, and Gentoo is something I’m still quite confused about. To me it just seems unnecessary, like the real version of people making Arch just seem incredibly complicated. Does anyone actually use it as a daily driver? Why? Is it just for the love of the game? Is there some specific use case I’ve not heard or thought of?
I moved from Debian unstable to NixOS this past Saturday. It’s been…interesting. I’m fighting the urge to run screaming back to Debian.
I tried purging Git from my system last night as an experiment. Try as I might I couldn’t get all references to it to disappear from the Nix store. I disabled it from configuration.nix and Home Manager. Removed all system and Home Manager generations except the current. Still there after various combinations of nix-channel --update, nixos-rebuild switch, and home-manager switch.
