I just made a post about my musing on NixOS so maybe read that? (here) Basically after the main learning curve it's pretty easy to use.

I'm getting the hang of their package manager as well, so if need be I can make my own (Like I would for Arch. The AUR scares me from a security standpoint).

My main advice is to not go against the curve. If the manual says that NixOS does it that way, do it that way, because going against the grain is like going through a cheese grater in this OS.

Unlike Arch where you can do things as you want, in Nix you do things using Nix. You can almost always accomplish what you want, but it's gotta be done the NixOS way. This is actually a benefit rather than a problem once you get used to it, because it starts becoming second nature, and it is extremely powerful.

Oh man now I got a new game I gotta try. Probably the SMS version though to be honest.

I don't think I've seen anybody using that anymore... I mostly see people posting their peertube stuff on other platforms.

The 3DS is such an amazing emulation device. I love it.

My recommendation is a homebrewable Switch. It runs pretty much anything you'd want in terms of emulation up to but not including the Wii U and PS3. Usually you can find them second-hand pretty cheap.

No problem! Happy waylanding! And out of curiosity, an update would be appreciated. I always like hearing how others' experiences are. It helps when I help others with Wayland.

I personally love Wayland for my system. I use Sway for mine and with support for VRR with my monitor, a lot of the vsync problems people talk about goes away (at least for me). I will say, some things that rely on Xorg screen sharing (Like Discord) will only share Xwayland windows. This is fixed in most applications, but not all. Also screen recording in general is a bit lacking. My main pro for Wayland is I use multiple monitors, and unlike Xorg which caps the refresh rate for the full desktop to the lowest (which for me is 75hz), Wayland allows different refresh rates per monitor, which means if I drag a vsync game over to a different monitor, the fps cap changes.

Wayland is also vastly improved by moving over to PipeWire instead of Pulseaudio. I've never had a singular problem with PipeWire and it's drop-in pretty much. I recommend that as well. PipeWire is compatible with applications that use PulseAudio so you shouldn't even notice a difference at worst, and will notice an improvement in sound latency most likely.

I think the main drawback about Waypand right now is people have VASTLY different experiences. Which is why I say just try it out. Most big DEs like KDE and GNOME have Wayland sessions that you can choose if you just install the wayland parts. Worst case scenario you go "This sucks" and go back. Wayland is only getting better, though, and I find that a lot of the problems I had even just 6 months ago are pretty much gone. Check in often and just keep your Xorg stuff laying around. That's the beauty of Linux.
