    Seriously thinking about nuking my years old Gentoo installation to try Nixos at this point.

      Could always just get another drive instead of tearing it down, storage is pretty cheap these days.

        True. I’ll migrate my /home back to my root drive and use the spare drive to experiment with.

          Or just leave it where it is and mount it there too ¯\(ツ)

            Well my home is on my spare drive currently lol. I guess I could just create another btrfs subvol alongside @home and use that as root.

                I’d normally agree with you lol, but I got laid off recently so I have to make due with what I have for now.

                The obvious answer that escaped me for whatever reason was just to create a VirtualBox VM. I already have it installed so why not.
