        Well, …everything?

        Conceptually, endavour/Arch are closer to Windows than they are to NixOS. The only commonality is that they’re made up of the same software components.

        The way you set up a software environment is totally different. I’d highly recommend some research on what NixOS’ declarative configuration is and what it means in practice.

      I always enjoyed NixOS, but then I got some CRAZY hardware issues. Like my monitor wouldn’t turn on crazy even though it’d be working fine for a while.

        That sounds more like a kernel issue than a distro issue. Were you on regular linux or linux_latest?

          Regular. Yeah I’ve NEVER hit anything like that before. My only guess is something in one of the kernel patches ran into my hardware and my hardware nope’d out.
