What are the problems you actually have?
If you want to deploy and configure something, nix does that exceptionally well.
If you want to install up to date software on Debian, RHEL, or other distribution but not negatively impact the system, nix does that exceptionally well.
If you want to build containers, nix does that decently.
Nix solves a lot of problems beyond reproducible environments. And it solves them permanently for nearly all use cases.
- panta82 5y agoBut it sounds like you have to get deep into this programming language, and figure it out yourself for the stuff that's not already there? Containers and software installs etc. already have solutions that are much simpler to use. Don't require me to learn a new language or get into the weeds of how each package works.
