It's not the "Linux model". It's an antiquated distro model that has been superseded by distros like Guix and NixOS that have shown you can still have an understandable dependency graph of your entire system without resorting to opaque binary blobs with Docker.

- davexunit 2y agoI use Guix. Have a nice day.
- pjmlp 2y agoWhen will AWS, Azure, GCP adopt such great distros?
- davexunit 2y agoI know this is not a good faith question but I did devops for many years and the state of the tooling and culture is so atrocious that I don't know if they will ever catch on. They're all lost in a swamp of YAML and Dockerfiles, a decade or more behind the rest of the industry in terms of software engineering knowledge. No one ever had any clue when I tried to talk to them about functional and immutable package management.
- pjmlp 2y agoIt is a remark in form of question, pointing out that Nix/Guix are 3l1t3, and will never achieve the adoption scale of Red-Hat, Debian, Arch, SusSE, Alpine, or the hyperscalers own distributions.
- davexunit 2y agoI don't think Nix or Guix are particularly "3l1t3". They are less mainstream, but they have users of varying technical backgrounds.
