As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this “relic” in IT terms… On this machine i tested:

Distro Performance
Fedora MEGA slow
Ubuntu OKish
LDME Fast
Debian Fast
NixOS VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

    Yet not as easy as loading it on a PC, which was my only point there.

      not at all, it exactly the same process. Same level of difficulty. Given you do it on an intel Mac, Mx series are a royal pain

      I haven’t done extensive testing, but I never had any issues installing Linux on my 2012 and 2013 macbook pros. Same exact process.
