I don't get the part where you say "On arch you build your system from ground up" You do that on NixOS aswell, just differently, also the part where you say "If you want complete control and customization" bro just tell me what you couldn't customize or accomplish on NixOS? I am no Arch hater, but I have to say that you were wrong in those parts, and actually you have better control of your system with NixOS since you have everything in config files, and you know what you have, and what you've changed.

So you don't manage dependencies manually in Arch wtf??? I don't think the person who made this video uses Linux, I know AI made it but anyone who uses Linux wouldn't have approved this video.

I learned nix and now there is No Other Option for me. It is almost as customizable as Arch and also as Up to Date, but stable and much more flexible at the Same time.
It introduces some difficulties to solve Things that are quite Tricky otherwise, mainly dependency hell and different Versions of packages in parallel.

I left my arch and go for nixos just cuz i felt happy when i write down what app to install in conf. ( Not terminal ). Lol

[codaniel]

I'm running nixos with cosmic-desktop. It is so awesome, I love it.

In fact i have Garuda Linux in my computer just because i wish to have everything under control. Garuda Linux (based on Arch Linux) is powerfull, control everything and is beautiful.
In Linux is not good talk about what is better distribution. Each person have their own choices. This is the best thing of Linux: give you the freedom to choice.

[Anthony-cnll]

This is completely false, maybe you’re thinking of Slackware when you talk about manual dependency management

[jbwgego]

This short is incorrect on so many levels

[AmjedAbdalla]

Arch Linux for sure .. i started learning Linux almost 6 month ago and i found Arch is more learning curve, diving into the Arch wiki and read.

basically declarative, slow_and_steady, safe (NixOS) vs procedural, yolo, dangerous_can_accidentally_wipe_out_everything (Arch)

[matthewstott]

NixOS NixPkgs exceed AUR count by more than a few. However unstable NixOS is more unstable than Arch. So breaking changes will be a challenge on NixOS more so than Arch.

[kasiro]

I can't see anything on the small screen, in shorts, better record a video

[upRootNutrition]

Wtf? What level of control does Arch grant you that isn't also achievable on NixOS?

[rommulo]

Who would buy a car that only car mechanic can make it walk?
Similarly, I as a median user, who wish a system ready for daily use, and that occasionally plays with the settings, would choose the Nix.

[sklikizos]

I love how this A.I. is actually Grant O'Brien

[guilhermeraposo]

You either used LLMs to write you script besides reading it or you never used neither distribution. The fact that the word accessible is used at all in a Convo about the responsible for the acronym RTFM is WILD!

[cantdance]

A.I. narration on display. Something just ain’t right about it

[Nick-yquz]

“Accessible” and “arch” is ridiculous. You pick arch for performance and control and nothing else

[eagan]

I just today switched to nixos and I’m loving it so far I think this is gonna end my insane daily distro hopping

[ALINUXAS]

You are completely factually just wrong or. I would just tell you takedown this video for the sake of people's education and your reputation. And yes, I'm a corporation. I can have opinions too.
