    That’s a great question. I like the concept of more stable OS and I played a bit with NixOS in the past but ultimately decided that it is too much of a hassle to learn Nix to use it and decided to try Bluefin. I am actually overall content as I was able to install the missing packages either in Toolbox/Distrobox or using homebrew.

    By the way I have actually found a way, and rebased my OS to another immutable flavor. I know that’s more of a workaround.








  • Why don’t you get some Intel Arc GPU, I think at the moment they are the best bang for your buck.

    I would say this PC isn’t great on paper. The PSU is too weak and if you decide to upgrade in the future you would most likely need to change it. The 8Gb VRAM is also suboptimal, as well as the SSD size.

    Not to mention that most of the pre-built PCs are cutting corners and probably this PSU would be no-name and I wouldn’t trust it.

    You should target a 750W PSU from a respectable brand, with a bronze or silver rating (gold or platinum is even better, but it depends on the price). A GPU with at least 12Gb VRAM and at least 1Tb SSD. Optionally, I would even advise you to get 32Gb RAM if you can find at an OK price, because next year or so this is supposed to be extremely expensive and it will make your PC more future proof.
