- rch 5y agoQuite a few people use Nix.
- kortex 5y agoWell "no one" is a bit absolute. But colloquially, I know what you mean. Relative to Docker, it's way less popular. But it has 5.2k stars on https://github.com/NixOS/nix https://github.com/NixOS/nix . But yeah. The DX "needs work". which is a nice way of saying, I find it downright painful to use.
- jessaustin 5y agoDoes it seem weird to anyone that Nix insists on installing its "/nix" directory on the root directory rather than somewhere sensible like "/usr" or even "/usr/local" ?
