I don’t get NixOS
It’s not for everyone. The idea is to have your entire system reproducible with a few configuration files, which you’d then ideally store in a VCS like git.
I haven’t messed with it, but there is something appealing about the ability to reboot to an older snapshot of the system if an update breaks something, or being able to use a config file to restore your system to the exact OS version and exact versions of whatever apps you use.
Metal Gear Solid 4 was tremendous fun to replay and complete. Beating the game in various ways unlocks new gear (that’s maybe a little broken) for your next playthrough.
It’s a linear game, so I could see it getting repetitive for some people, but it kept me entertained.
