Evangelisation¶
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwfKlX3rA6E “One day, as happens now and then with a bleeding-edge rolling release distro, a systemd update reversed my mouse buttons. The great thing about rolling-release and cutting-edge distributions like Arch Linux, is that you get to be a beta tester, whether you like it or not! I thought this was the way it had to be on Linux: Stability or cutting-edge features, not both. But that wasn’t right at all, with NixOS you can have everything, everywhere all at once!”
