I have been playing with it for a bit on some other [computers](/tags/r810), so I started with a mainly working config. + +I was able to complete a week of work on the new OS just fine. In fact, the only two issues I currently have is that the version of [darktable](https://darktable.org) is behind (4.0 vs. just released 4.2) and my [qutebrowser](https://www.qutebrowser.org) is not playing any [DRM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management) protected content like Netflix or Amazon streaming. I am not sure if that is NixOS or qutebrowser. I should look into it more, but for now I am just using [firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) when I need to access that suff. + +I am pretty immpressed that I have not had to change any of my workflows yet, just edit some scripts and install a few things. But, the nice thing is that I can now reproduce my main workstation on a spare laptop in very short order now.
