    Sure but how often do you need to actually change your machine?

      Me personally, a lot. I work on 4 different rigs (inlcuding latops) and yes, for me, it does save time.

      Probably not often, but as a Debian user, it’s a PITA to get back to where I was before I fucked up my system. Nix(OS) sounds like a future investment to me, just in case I ever fuck up and need to get back to where I was ASAP. Been there once already and it was NOT fun.

      That was from a professional standpoint BTW, privately I’m still a dirty Windows pleb, because that’s what I’m most familiar with.

      PS: I’m already using a dotfiles repo, which already saves me a ton of time in settings things up.
