I started using GNU\Linux in March 2008 with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). I was working in the news at the time and was using Linux for photo and video production.

In 2012, I switched to the ArchLinux distribution and felt fine for 6 years.

These distributions are great, but they have one big problem: you need to reconfigure it. With Ubuntu it happened twice a year, with Arch - every time with new computer.

Problem solved for me with NixOS in October 2018.

This configuration not perfect and need some refactoring, but I use it everyday on two machines.

Entrypoint is flake.nix. It describes inputs and outputs from configuration.

In section “Modules” you can see which modules in use. As example nixos-thinkpad-host.nix describes specific things for my current laptop Lenovo ThinkPad L580.

All other things - git, sound, fonts and other modules are the same for both my machines.
