NixOS resuscitated a 2012 Macbook Air. This thing flies! I was NOT expecting that at all (lemmy.ml)

As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this "relic" in IT terms... On this machine i tested:

Distro	Performance
Fedora	MEGA slow
Ubuntu	OKish
LDME	Fast
Debian	Fast
NixOS	VERY Fast

And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS

@Loucypher very promising to see this! Been running #NixOS for quite some time on several devices, and will be coming into possession of a nice iMac that's just out of reach of OS updates.

I was already planning on slapping Nix on it, but this just reassures me a bit more! 😅👌

Your iMac will thank you for it ;)
