As a Debian user in a previous life, and a current NixOS user, this whole debacle amuses me greatly, as I no longer give a shit about paths like /usr/bin or /bin, beyond a handful of binaries needed to bootstrap my environment. I've even moved those paths into a read-only filesystem on some systems!
- jeltz 5y agoThis could happen in any distribution which does not have a powerful dictator at the top. Almost nothing about this issue has to do with paths. It is one maintainer of a core package who obstructs the Debian project which is enabled by Debian's distributed nature with no powerful dictator at the top.
- Ericson2314 5y agoYeah came here to say the same. For them, silly tradeoffs between uniformity and what might be considered ambient authority or separation of concerns. For us? Nahhh best of both worlds.
