i thought i will never change to another distro again. recently after one of my update failed and could not boot into EOS again. i did not have any EOS installer handy with me … i always had [Antix linux](https://antixlinux.com/) or [mx linux](https://mxlinux.org/) which would help me do a boot repair or some of the stuff i really dont fully understand and i will be back in EOS. this time the trick did not work.  
so i had an installer of [nixos](https://nixos.org/) this time around and installed nixos … thinking that i will be able to dual boot. when that failed i overwrote the entire hard disk after taking the backup of my working files.  
one of my requirement is to have a python3.9 [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) independent of the system OS. as a python programmer this is the important, other than few must have apps (venv, qtile). In this process, i had hopped to another flavour of nixos called [zeneys os](https://gitlab.com/Zaney/zaneyos). it helped to gain better understanding of how nix os works because i need to customize the installer/setup scripts to my computer and requirements.  
however, i was not able to setup python3.9 venv. after some try, again i decided to come back to EOS. this time around, ensure that i have archroot ready. setting up venv is a piece of cake with EOS with this great [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) project

i am sure it is possible to achieve this in nix but i was not able to achieve this with nix package manager / os. it is just at this point i dont know.

i will post/link the small problems i faced when i installed EOS. (all are minor issues) to call it a perfect system.
