My experience with #NixOS so far:
+ installation was easy and fast
+ installing packages/software, creating generations, and switching is amazing
- switching back and forth b/n gnome and plasma sucks. It messes up the installed software icons, and the mouse pointer turns into a square instead of the arrow. Ugly and annoying.
? Don't get how and why the last point happens in a declarative environment.
