Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Gentoo -> NixOS

I recently switched to nixos which makes dependency management and configuration itself much easier. Probably the best option to run things on bare metal IMO.

Currently, I am using DWL and it is pretty nice. After moving to Wayland, I tried to use Sway for a while, but it does not really fit into my workflow well. But to be honest, even DWL is missing some things I want, and I am not really a fan of that it is written and configured in C. I am planning on trying to write my own tiling window manager in Rust when I have some time.

Recently switched from Gentoo to NixOS. Not really sure if I will not switch back but so far interesting experience. Being able to define your entire system configuration with just a few files is really cool, plus it is really nice for setting up development environments.

On my Laptop I just run arch because I find it easiest, and it is mostly multimedia laptop. Same with my home server (NAS, self-hosted stuff, VR) where I just need rolling distro with good support for gaming.

Currently trying out NixOS, just switched from Gentoo. Interesting experience so far, will see if the switch will be permanent.

Immutable system, completely separated and well-defined development environments per project, and overall nix is pretty nice.

So far just contributing to other projects whenever I find something, missing. My main project that I am currently starting to work on is a Wayland Tiling Compositor written in Rust, but so far I am still in very early stages. I really like how Wayland works but so far all the compositors are lacking something I want, closest to what I want is DWL, but it still lacks some things I want.
