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

How is fedora that slow? Is it due to btrfs? Is tracker running in the background?

I run fedora on a 2009 thinkpad and it’s fast. I’m surprised NixOS is that much faster.
