NixOS sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.
that's why I only use my computer with raw system calls, shell is bloat
You guys use an OS? I just push the electrons around my motherboard manually with a little magnet on a toothpick.
Systemd sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.
You keep my init system (and resolver, and timekeeper, and task scheduler, and container manager, and ...) out your f**king mouth!
Still waiting for systemd-desktopd to drop.
I'm waiting for systemd to join the smart home revolution

I'd personally advise against NixOS as a first distribution for that matter. It's a great distribution, but if you want to understand the underlying mechanics, start with something where you interact with them, like Arch or whatever.
Nix is to Linux what Tailwind is to CSS
Ya, sucks when Tailwind goes out of style and now have to learn CSS again.
That's why I used to use arch btw
it's an abstraction yeah but understanding what exactly it is abstracting and how is where you'll get snags, it's definitely not a newbie distro.
