      Truely don’t understand how this one became popular. But I’m sure it will fade like Crunchbang or a dozen others before it.

        NixOS came out in 2003, crunchbang came out in 2008. As someone who swapped to NixOS after reaching the “plateau of stability” and realizing I needed more power, while the distro is a clusterfuck that shouldn’t be as popular as it is. It has some very clear and defined use cases, so I don’t see it dying any time soon.

      I ve been running SUSE for 3years now, it never broke; when I wqs unhappy with an update O rolles back. This is the chilliest distro in my opinion after trying Mint(2 years) and Debian (2years)

        Idk, maybe? It was a real experience like this:

        1. I install system

        2. I have a screen that prompts me to login either as a root or as a user.

        3. I login as a root just because I was to install a lot of software.

        4. I have a black screen and the forums recommend me installing the system again.


        It was waaaay before you started using Linux, maybe 10 years ago?
