        You guys use an OS? I just push the electrons around my motherboard manually with a little magnet on a toothpick.

      Systemd sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.

      I’d personally advise against NixOS as a first distribution for that matter. It’s a great distribution, but if you want to understand the underlying mechanics, start with something where you interact with them, like Arch or whatever.

      it’s an abstraction yeah but understanding what exactly it is abstracting and how is where you’ll get snags, it’s definitely not a newbie distro.
