Last time I didn’t upgrade for a long while some drivers broke, maybe I’ll just switch to NixOS this time since it seems interesting. Does anyone here use NixOS? What do you think about it?

Oh yeah I use nvidia so it’s pretty unsurprising. How much coding is required? I know how to code so it’s not a very big deal but I’d like to have an idea.
As someone elase said, it’s not really coding but more like writing a configuration. If you need an example (I’m using AMD so there will be some changes required) you can check out my own config at https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/nix-conf
Edit: Also, the note on shebangs applies to all scripts within NixOS.
Thank you so much for your example, I’m new to NixOS coming from arch and these are all very helpful.
I wouldn’t call it coding. It’s more about writing configurations. You have to provide a list of packages you need and some configuration for them like configuring default desktop environment. I recommend searching for dotfiles repos with configuration.nix on github to get an idea.
nvidia-open-dkms usually doesn’t break when updating.
