Arch and Ubuntu are just layers of complexity on top of a very simple concept – install and configure some packages.
apt and nix are just layers of complexity on top of a very simple concept – copy and edit some files.
Files and directories are just layers of complexity on top of a very simple concept – bytes arranged in blocks for persistent storage.
You get the idea. One needs choose where to draw their own personal abstraction layer line.
- jacobsenscott 5y agoSure, but the layers you list there significantly simplify those tasks. I'm not sure spacemacs/doom/etc significantly simplify using emacs. They are an alternate abstraction of roughly equal complexity.
