I love computer even though it breaks me. funny how I got burnout just by a Windows error… The system that I carefully build for half a decade just snapped out randomly.
And now, using NixOS for five days, brute force myself diving into a new paradigm, using OSS clanker to help me install, config, learn functional programming, a bunch of things, plenty of specific problems not shared on the internet but current models can figure out.
Literally from “Telling the computer what I want it to do.” to “Telling the computer what I want and letting it get there on its own and make the blueprint out of it.”
I migrate workflow from my broken Windows to Linux. no config, data, and software erased well except native Windows software. Now I feel like almost using my old computer, reborn from ashes, to become better.
I’d like to learn the declarative operating system or computer as code for the long term, for eradication of worries, to share it with others. That becomes the answer I crave since a while: to create an orchestrated system at the deep level, instead of deploying apps, containers, or virtual machines, I can just write the recipe, the plain text, the docs.
If it really can fix me in the long run, I will enthusiastically shill it from my heart <3
