Software dev, NixOS is pretty neat, still looking for my next language to main, #neovimbtw
Exciting news, your posts and tutorial were the things that got me to try it, daily driving it at work now.

Although my Pi with my knot is not going to handle it, will need to get NixOS on another device

If you know anyone with some gcc expertise, there are some open issues to get more toolchains bootstrapped, eg:

github.com/256lights/zb...
Get a modern version of GCC built for Linux · Issue #14 · 256lights/zb-stdlib
In #9, I built gcc 4.2.1, which is the last GCC that musl-cross-make supports that only requires a C compiler to build. I should be able to use that compiler to build a more recent GCC.

Google Photos is the main one I feel tied down to at this point. I was just looking for any tips on problems to look out for when setting up and if there is anything to ease the transition of data transfer from stock android to graphene.

There was a time period early on where it was on the time frame of a week or two where zen didn't upgrade. Their process seems a lot better now but nixpkgs hasn't let them back in yet.

What stage were you having issues?

It was pretty rough to get the first rebuild to work, I had to manually add a bunch of swap space. Even after that rebuilds would lock up sometimes, but remote builds saved me there.

#1 difference is configuration and plugins in Lua instead of vimscript. Neovim can also use vimscript plugins, so you'll have access to both. If you have a super basic config and don't care about plugins, you probably won't notice too much of a difference.
