I wasn’t planning on it, my GF bought the tickets without asking me about it, and didn’t know about my pal being into the band. But my friend figured I was the one who left her out. Plus, not everyone gets invited to everything, hey I’m dating someone here. Called me up and berated me about being a bad friend without saying what it was she was mad about. I prefer not to have friends that use that kind of rhetoric.

Mad she didn’t get invited to a concert my GF bought tickets to. Welp
I don’t see nixos in there!
I tried quitting a number of times. Not easy, and demoralizing when you fail. You may have to try several times too.
When I finally did quit I had decided to put off my first cigarette in the morning as long as possible, reasoning that sleep was the longest I’d go without nicotine. One day I went the whole day.
A friend quit at the same time as me, using the gum. Six months later she was still using it, and gave up and started smoking again.
Probably helps that I had quit drinking by then as well. Pretty hard to drink and not smoke, for me.
As far as stability goes, its hard to beat my nixos setup. I use the venerable xmonad with xfce in no-desktop mode, and the command line for things like wifi and etc. Because I do most stuff with the command line I can get around fine on servers with no GUI. There’s no bling and hardly anything ever changes.
I used to fancy up my desktop and so forth, but those things break eventually and don’t really help me get work done. I don’t want to waste time on that anymore.
That said, getting it set up has been a gradual evolution and there have been awkward times. Like zoom screen sharing goes kind of insane with a tiling window manager (stop helping, zoom). And of course nixos itself is fantastic if what you need is already packaged and ready to go, and doesn’t do anything weird like download binaries. Stuff outside the norm, well now you have two problems - understanding how the software expects to be installed on debian or the like, and understanding how to subvert that process to make it work on nix.
