Comment on Setting Up a New Windows Laptop in 2026parent

Try NixOs. Somewhat of a steep learning curve, but once you're over the hump setting up a machine is about half an hour of work and most of that is just waiting for stuff to download. Set up a new machine the other day and it immediately became my daily driver as everything works nearly exactly as on my other machines.

I appreciate that you're trying to help, but you're throwing a drowning man an anvil
