I ended up installing the nox package manager on my gentoo machine, and it's been useful so far. Got some packages installed that aren't in the native Gentoo repo

Genuinely curious cause i don't know much nixos, does it support an equivalent to USE flags or slots?

Or Gentoo? I haven't used nixos yet so cant speak on it but Gentoo has been awesome to tinker and learn with.

I just started using it in the past month or so. I doubt I'll ever go back to any other distro. I tried it once in the past but gave up because I didn't have the time to actually learn it. Now that I have it's amazing. I like having control over not only what packages get installed (ala Arch) but also what is contained in those packages.

It's been a lot of fun learning and renewed my love for computing.

Edit: been using Linux for about 20 years now. Started with Ubuntu
