I’m working through some necessary issues in VMs as I work towards dropping Windows, but it occurred to me that I should pick a distro my non-techy partner could use in the event that something catastrophic happens to me. I really like the declarative/immutable distros, but perhaps something more traditional with btrfs snapshots would be better suited to such a use case…?
It’s no secret that NixOS has a steep learning curve, but do any of you share a NixOS PC with family/partners/etc.? If so, what has that experience been like? Could they take over admin if you were incapacitated?
There was a good post on planning for your death recently, with links to a Github guide. It’s not NixOS specific, but might be helpful :)

Neat, thanks! I’ll check it out. I’m not expecting anything to happen, but it would be really sucky if I left my family in the lurch or locked out of necessary things.
Isn’t there a community for this very discussion?
It definitely comes up in self-hosting.
I haven’t seen one, but it would be very handy :)
