Prior Linux knowledge still applies and is required, it is just managed differently. Another language won't change much. Debian reliability is outside of core

Prior Linux knowledge still applies and is required, it is just managed differently.
Another language won't change much.
Debian reliability is outside of core packages a myth and Debian has no way to properly migrate configuration. Every major update is a wild rollercoaster ride were things might break in the middle.

- kaba0 3y agoWhy do you think it is? The problem with Nix is not the language, it is mostly the ad hoc, grown over time “standard library” for packaging programs. It is just hard to know what that magic buildXPackage function does, or sometimes even where it is. You basically have to grep through the nixpkgs repo to find these things. The language is very small and is a great fit for its domain.
