You shouldn't use something experimental like NixOS and Nix at work, that's fine at home or as a hobby.

You shouldn't use something experimental like NixOS and Nix at work, that's fine at home or as a hobby.
- adamtulinius 2y agoWe've been running it for 7-8 years in production, and it has (and is) serving us well.
- _fsql 2y agoSure, but tell me: How often do you see NixOS used as a file server, enterprise app server, in the cloud, as a web server, for big databases, email server, backup server, firewall, satellite server, in labs, banking, or critical mission servers? The answer is clear—hardly anyone uses NixOS in those roles unless it's for something experimental.
- adamtulinius 2y agoIt sounds like you're saying NixOS is unsuited for production just because it's still a bit niche. I think that's a false dichotomy.
