We’ve already come full circle.
Nobody uninstalls packages from a Docker container…
With immutable designs, we’re just reinstalling the whole OS on each update…just a bit more efficiently thanks to cheap storage.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoWith ephemeral NixOS, I'm reinstalling the whole OS (sort of) on every boot!
