Yes! Two folks swapped to nix, one to mint.

Getting VR to work has been a journey on nix. Everything on mint has gone smoothly afaik.

Windows 10 EOL (and moving) both roughly lined up, so we all decided to get away from big tech. The nix os was new, interesting, and feels very powerful when things work. Mint was a known safe choice.

If I must be selfish: Really really big telescopes/particle colliders and space exploration both sound very nice.

Ah, apologies for my terrible wording. The mint machine hasn't tried VR for any substantial amount, while those using VR are on nixos.

Though I think there was one night where we had a quest 2 running on mint, using wivrn and xriser.
