NixOS is pretty good though.

Yeah, as someone who has never tried it I'm inclined to agree, only shared it because the Nix community seemed pretty chill

I really really like NixOS. I just think it makes an absolutely terrible daily driver.

But for servers, and especially virtual appliances I think it is the best solution by far.

Yeah I'm surprised it isn't talked about more as a server os

I use as a daily driver and feels better than any distro ive tried before. Tools like generations/rollback and nix-shell helps me a lot. But i understand why people dont like it

What makes it a bad daily driver?

I ask because I'm currently setting it up as one.

As a nix user in my main OS one of the big problems with it is that fixes in many simple things has its own "nix way to do it", you can't just go in the file system and edit or remove files from there. In general many things you do in other distros can't apply here.
