Well... that's not off to a good start. I don't mind learning something new, but nix just seems super convoluted.

In many other distros the package manager makes it pretty easy to get a graphical environment running or even to install and configure software. Not nix.

Nix is far from easy to use or install https://invidio.us/watch?v=QujRHErFG4w



That video is two years old, and the comments make it clear that dude didn't RTFM, so... YMMV.
