So im about to get a new laptop, its no the best but it will be diffrent, currently i have a desktop so a laptop i will be able to move around with.

Its a windows laptop with 12gb of ram, 250 storage, so im hoping its good becasue i got this laptop on the cheaper end becasue its refurbished acording to amazon.

anyways what are some of the first things to do with a laptop besides setting it up and what are some cool uses, i have some ideas on how i might use the laptop but i want to hear what yall have to say.

    It’s an interesting learning curve.
    I would really recommend using flakes, basically lockfiles which abstract away some pains with dependencies.

    Nixos Options is utterly fantastic for figuring out stuff (also links to source config)

    The syntax takes a bit to get used to but if ye have used something like lisp or haskell before then it should be easy enough to pick up.

    (I’ll add links to my repos here when I am back on computer)
