it seems, when I read the different topics here, that most of them (nearly all) are way beyond my knowledge in computer science. It leaves a taste of unfinished business for me using this distribution.
I first come to NixOS because there was some sort of fashion for immutable distributions but I finally really like the fact to set (nearly) everything with a single text file.
I would summarize my specific use (other that mail and web browsing) of my distribution by :
some python and julia coding for scientific purpose but limited to my own PC;
redaction with LaTeX
Is there a/some way(s) to use the specific NixOS capabilities to do those things that other classic distributions are not aim to do in the first place ?
I feel like I am hunting flies with a nuke using NixOS so basically.
