What is your favorite transactional and declarative Linux distro?

@freemo yeah, I have no idea what you are talking about...

@freemo I think you should do a tiktok on it with 'full glamour' on....

@freemo I really love Nix but my first attempt to use declarative package manager was Guix.

I thought there are so many reasons to use Guix. guix home, guix services and so on.

@freemo and that's why I'm currently using Nix...

In Guix, services are not as plenty as Nix, and writing Guix expression was cumbersome to me. then I found the home-manager.

@0xch4n I really hate lisp based syntax, its just sooo ugly.

@freemo
I'd be interested in how many folks have even tried both.

I run nixos and stick with it cause it works for me. Never tried guix and even if it's better I can't see myself switching. Too invested at this point.

@iooioio I have not tried guix, just nixos. I did read accounts of people who tried both before I decided on nix (though frankly most people who tried both seemed to prefer guix)
