Well let's see if it is worth it or if I go back to debian.

Please use it for at least one week, as it's a learning experience and not meant for everyone. It took me around a week to become familiar with Nix and Flakes, but I believe it was worth it since now I have to tweak things less often and my configuration's decently organized.

Also try out Home Manager

    I will. I could already fall in love with it I think.

    Still some minor issues but for example I installed timeshift and wanted to set up a root backup when it hit me: i don't need that on nixos XD.

    The only thing I still need to figure out is how do I automatically backup my nix configuration. But maybe sth. Like Dropbox will do.

    I don't want to publish it to git unsanitzed.

    I don’t want to publish it to git unsanitzed.

    You could make a private repo and set up an SSH key to access it. For example, I have my dotfiles hosted on Codeberg but it's a private repo so only I have access to it (although I would not recommend putting unencrypted passwords, even in a private repository)

    Although I understand if you mean not publishing to GitHub as I guess there has been some controversy and it's owned by Microsoft.
