So far my biggest complaint with NixOS is the incredible disparity between support for *using* some feature and for *setting up* said feature. Case in point, Yubikey+LUKS. The initrd support is very nice and clean and clever. But actually setting it up requires so much faff.

I bounced off the massive amount of assumed knowledge/crap docs that I just couldnโ€™t be bothered to get through.

I've been treating the exploration I've been doing as a "Linux from Scratch" and so far I've enjoyed it at least a little. But the utter lack of installer, and the pitiful amount of setup scripting which comes "as standard" really betrays the incredibly high quality of nixpkgs.
