After a few years using nix for my projects, everything else feels flimsy. They can make the logo be a pile of poo for all I care. Maybe you're the one who is

  Cool, glad it works for you, as I said, it is promising. Others might be turned off before they get started. In any case, it's a distraction, and has no business in any open source project. Inviting politics in (if that is what the Nix team is doing) puts an upper bound on the distro's reach. I got curious about it, and yeah, doesn't appear a great community, at least a year ago: https://shealevy.com/blog/2024/05/08/broken-promises-the-nix-governance-discussions/ https://shealevy.com/blog/2024/05/08/broken-promises-the-nix...

    Yikes, that'a not the first thing that comes to mind when I think of politics. In fact, it's one of the last thing that comes to mind, and whitewashing the behavior of the NixOS community leaders as simply, "politics" doesn't do justice to what is described in the blog post.

  Well of course I do. If a project openly states that they will ban me for my political beliefs, even if I talk about them on my personal website or X account, why in the world would I invest my time and energy in learning how to use it and also investing time into improving the project and submitting bug reports? I'm not a masochist and do not support people that openly hate me and my values.
