    Yes, but I used the NixOS “recipe”. I just tell it the new source folder in my config and do a sudo nixos-rebuild swirch --impure

    It takes two hours, but completely hands off

      That’s interesting. Last time I did it I had to manually install a ridiculous amount of dependencies one by one, among other things. I will have to try Nixos (or Guix) sometime. Computers are faster now too. I remember taking way more than 2 hours but it was on a slow machine by today’s standards. Thanks.

        That’s why I love NixOS, some dude (okay sometimes it’s me) already figured out how to compile all the software and built the binaries if you want them
