Nix is my daily driver OS and the most stable experience I’ve ever had with any distro. But God do I fucking hate using Nix. Such a horribly documented experience for something so config heavy. Wtf were they thinking.
Not just that, Nix as a language has an insane syntax. Who the hell dreamed function declaration like that
mathematicians.
To quote just about everyone regarding sometning at some point in their lives: “ew”
And good luck deciphering wtf the exception log is trying to say.
They were thinking mgmtconfig.
I wanted to play around with a project that uses Nix… it seemed really cool but I couldn’t get it working, I guess I was throwing myself in at the deep end with it
It looks like a fantastic way of sharing a dev environment across a team
It is a fantastic way to make sure things work across a team. We use Linux (bunch of different distro) and macOS at my company and once I started packaging things with nix environment related issues mostly went away. It’s not perfect and it’s not necessarily easy to learn nix, but I prefer it to sharing docker containers or other alternatives.

Excuse me…
Sounds pretty great to me honestly… Might spin up vm this weekend and give it a shot!
Thought let’s be honest, I’ve grown kinda lazy in my old age and compiling kernels is kinda a pain if you don’t need to so I dont know if I’ll actually use it for anything
