I have played around with the OS and think it is really exciting. That being said have yet to really daily drive it. How is it as a daily driver? Also what did you come from previously?

When I used Bazzite, I had it on a samsung laptop and on my steam deck, both worked perfectly for the handful of months that lasted. It integrates seamlessly with steam's updater so apart from updates taking longer, you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't vanilla from gaming mode. Layering my own packages on top was painless and worked fine too, I particularly remember using tailscale that way. Overall it was rock solid and hands off, most variants keep themselves and flatpaks updated on their own and whatnot.

I came from vanilla stramos and I had it on my laptop as soon as I got it. On the desktop side, I hadn't moved away from windows 10 yet, and by the time I did all my devices were already on NixOS. All in all if nix's declarative approach didn't tickle my nerd bones so perfectly, I'd probably be all in on it to this day.

I've been using it as my daily driver on my laptop for a couple of months, and I cannot recommend it enough. It has been running flawlessly.

I came from EndeavourOS. So it's a big change from bleeding edge, to the insane stability of immutable, but I'm here for it.

And you always have BoxBuddy if there's anything you can't do because ostree, or if you only know how to do it in Arch (or whatever other distro).
