2016 wk.47: And back to NixOS

After two months using [FreeBSD][] (TrueOS) exclusively it was apparent that I would rather live with systemd and even btrfs than lose the benefits of using [NixOS][].

My natural preference would be [Guix][] instead but right now I'm unable to be 100% productive with it due to lack of some packages, services and filesystems.

[NixOS]: http://nixos.org/ [Guix]: http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ [FreeBSD]: https://www.freebsd.org/

So I have been running NixOS again and took a chance with btrfs. And though all my bits are still there its functionality was not interesting over ZFS so I will come back to a ZFS NixOS setup for my next laptop.

I will do a NixOS presentation on [December's sudoersbcn Meetup][] so if you're curious drop by.
