nix is so clearly superior and yet nobody uses it. curious!
- petemir 3y agoI think that the learning curve for the nix ecosystem is a lot steeper compared to other distros.
- kaba0 3y agoWell, arch is no ubuntu either.
- kaba0 3y agoSometimes the better solution takes time to reach the masses. Here we talk about a tiny percent of the tiny 3% of desktop users.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y ago> nix is so clearly superior and yet nobody uses it. curious! If you're going to be snide, you should at least be correct - or are the 6300 users in the main matrix chat room just hanging out for fun? (sent from my nixos daily driver)
- coldtea 3y agoIt's not like 6300 is anything but statistical noise compared to the number of Linux users out there.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoThe number of Arch Linux users is nothing but statistical noise compared to the number of Windows users; would you say that nobody uses Arch?
- coldtea 3y agoIn that context, if, that is, the comparison involved Windows user share, then yes. Hell, even in a Linux-only context too. I mean, an exchange like: - We're shipping this enterprise software in packages compatible with RHEL and Ubuntu, would it be worth our while to also devote resources to specifically support Arch too? - Nah, nobody uses Arch While not accurate to the maximum possible precision (something like say 5% of Linux users is not the same as 0%), it would still be quite understandable...
