Revisiting nix.

👋 hi, I’m not new to Linux however I’m taking a newbie approach to NixOs. I’ll get to my questions.

  1. Would it be easier to install base or deconstruct a de?

  2. What is the biggest difference between the graphical iso and the minimal iso, as far as what does NixOs installs?

  3. I used the graphical iso, should I chose no desktop and install from there what apps and programs I need/want
    Or install lxqt and remove what I don’t care for or need?

Currently I’m on KDE, runs well, but I prefer a much smaller footprint. So I’m going to reinstall, thought I’d ask for opinions and advice. Hp stream 30g hdd 4ram
