I'm back with a Debian +machine, or to be more precise, my Frankenbian. + +"But why?" you may ask. + +Well, the answer is quite simple. I need a stable operating system on my +workstation, which has to have properly working 3D-hardware acceleration. In the +weeks before my switch back, This was no longer the case and nobody could help +me. + +But this all does not mean I abandoned NixOS as a whole or think less of the +project. I still believe it is a very cool concept for an operating system and +package management and will gladly revisit it, when things are more stable and +mature, but for now I only maintain a small virtual machine with a NixOS +installation to run my NixOps deployments. + +During my endeavours of switching back I unfortunately lost some data +(e.g. pgp keys), so I updated data where needed. This prompted me to think of +a proper paper backup solution for sensitive data. Maybe I'll come up with some +acceptable workflow. + +Also setting up my laptop anew prompted me to plan new blogposts, especially +about full-disk-encryption and my NixOps setup. These will follow in the future. + +So long and thanks for all the fish.
