Why I switched to Manjaro Linux

This is something I want to have in NixOS that we could incubate. It’s actually much easier to achieve this in NixOS because of our module system. From just looking at my configuration on my machine, I have a lot of tweaks that I guess distros like manjaro have as defaults.

we already kind of do this for laptops: GitHub - NixOS/nixos-hardware: A collection of NixOS modules covering hardware quirks. , I wonder if we could make “sensible” defaults into some profiles. An example configuration.nix:

  imports = [
    <nixos/profiles/manjaro>
    ./hardware-configuration.nix
  ];

I think for people that, “don’t really want to think about each individual part that goes into my system”. They will gladly defer this work to someone else.

NixOS really only has power users, because they (myself included) either want explicit control, or don’t mind dealing with explicit control of everything.
