you can remove existing DEs and replace with new one, you can have multiple DEs too. Ask chatgpt for details.

>dual boot to run arch

if you just want to get feels have it in a separate media as in pen drive and test, or try in VM first then do whatever you want

Ignore all the install gentoo posts OP

It's only a meme

This is a good starting point and I recommend getting used to it before you do something drastic like switching to a Tiling WM and ricing

I have been wanting to try this for a while now, but are there any advantages over arch? Nix package manager can work with arch, and as for that system state reroll feature of nixOS, my arch never breaks.

what I like about nix is, it is declarative. just write one config and that should run in almost any machine, it doesn't matter if it a linux, mac or window (wls). Apart from that you get nixpkgs, latest release of all software maintain by community. If you want to use more that one version of nodejs suppose, you can do that too without installing nvm.

other part is, if you a full time developer. nix comes very handy ngl. flake.nix, devshell, direnv these things are there to setup your development environment in no time (for a particular project you wanna work in).

the only downside is, it takes up disk space too quickly if you are constantly installing various software. but that should be fine, you can just delete the unused packages to clear the storage by nix-collect-garbage -d for instance.

I should recommend you to try that thing in a virtual machine before installing it in main machine. nix is not for beginners, you will get overwhelm by a lot of features and information. not to mention you have to invest a lot of time to understand the architecture (it's worth it!!!).

if you decide to install it in your machine

How did you do it?

For some reason, whenever I try to install anything, it says failed to retrieve package.

I used archinstall

Should I not use that and instead follow the arch wiki?

Btw I'm still in cli haven't installed a wm yet

Spend most of the time ricing it and breaking it then fixing it through the terminal. Imagine using fucking tarballs to install a simple program. Perfect OS for NEETs.
