Both NixOS and Gentoo are also addictive as hell, you poke just a couple of things — the next thing you know it’s 3 AM two weeks later and you are recompiling your whole system trying to make it work with Wild linker or something along those lines, laughing maniacally.
I already knew Linux. What it made me learn is systemd. And I’ll say it without shame, I like systemd. I know it doesn’t follow the Unix philosophy but it’s just semantics.
I use Gentoo. I very much warn you against using Gentoo.
Same for nix. It’s great and awesome, but you need to know that for 6months it will be pain.

Using NixOS was when I finally felt like I started to understand Linux. I don’t think I could go back lol
