The screenshot is literally a mishmash of technical jargon with little to no relation to each other.

What problem does it solve, exactly?
- otabdeveloper4 5y agoThat's like asking "what problem does apt-get solve, exactly, with its technical jargon, when I can always download the software I want using Google Chrome?"
- Narice 5y agoYeah but here it's the level of jargon that is the problem, there is too much! This is a good project for sure but it is not ready for new users.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoIf you think the words software repository and package manager are esoteric technical jargon then you don't need nix, which is completely fine. But it allows developers to identically reproduce builds of a software which depends on other software packages. Other package managers may depend on some global variables of your system, which nix avoids.
