So I have been using PopOS/Mint for a couple of years now and I regularly listen to Linux Unplugged and have been getting some FOMO when all they talk about how great NixOS is. So I guess my default starting point is going to be a Vm through VMware. My question is: Is this a good place to start? Should I just use a basic desktop on bare metal to get it running.

I changed both of my personal PC's, including a laptop, I fucking love the fact I don't need to check if a peogram is installed from my desktop... Now I want to yeet my ubuntu LTS server and have it in my flake too 😂 Really changes your way of thinking about machines, and I've always wanted this. A fresh install doesn't feel like a fucking 10 year rollback, just setup some desktop apps/login and everything else is good to go!
