  • I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

    This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

    I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

    So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.





  • I was in the same boat two years ago.

    What I did is that I’ve setup a VM with NixOS in it to play with, learn the language and tweak the configuration file.

    The great thing about NixOS is that once I was feeling confident enough to switch I installed NixOS on bare metal, loaded the configuration file I prepared in the VM and I instantly had everything installed and running. (Except for the NVidia drivers, fuck nvidia)

    Since then I’ve stayed in nixos and I’m not looking back.
