Yep, it feels somewhat clunky when you are used to NixOS modules :P

Bazel is the bane of my existence. I have never seen such an anti distro tool that is so hostile against your system libraries.

I've used Debian for 3 years and all the problems I had with it and that are now solved with NixOS and replaced with a complete new set of problems I could only dream in my wettest dreams on Debian. Only going back over woodwork to Deb

LTS is harming the industry and holding everything back! IMO it is the wrong direction.

I delete your entire system file system right now. How fucked are you? With NixOS: I don't care. You can recover from a half deleted root file system.

Probably because it restarts the network service. You can configure the systemd unit to be only reloaded or nothing at all m

Flakes bring you one interface to share common dependencies which is kot possible without an interface.

Are you complaining that AI is not the savior of everything?

That's just proprietary software assuming you are on something Debian or red hat like. The problem is on them being closed and hostile towards improvement. Also for someone not knowing Rust it is also very intimidating and if you star

nix-alien is an older, worse approach that is not that well maintained

That will likely soon stop working because steam-run is no longer a grab bag for literally every library out there.

You can just use nix-ld to run anything that is somewhat closely resembled.

Installing packages from different channels is still far easier than on any other distro. Try getting a Debian 10 package to work on Debian 13. You can't. GUI programs are hard because how GUIs work on Linux. You cannot make them easil

Most people don't realize that you can read the arch wiki and put the same settings into the nixos options. Where is the point in replicating that all again?

Guix has stripped away the biggest plus from NixOS: the module system and replaced it with a half assed system

Docker and flatpak suck so much if you want to customize anything

Branch names that are not just a keyboard smash maybe?

Bazel is the most distro hostile build system I know.

That will change with content addressed derivations but they are progressing slowly exactly because of this.

Most others just follow the same concept of running imperative commands and not much about them is revolutionary. NixOS gives that a new spin.

You mean rot and forget LTS?

Haskell is so much worse with its custom operators. So a vibrant community is now bad? Also there where big improvements in the last years like freeform settings. Try reading Debians Postgres Documentation and you get a sense what terrible

Updating on NixOS is so much less painful that doing an update every 6 months is actually viable. Also the update already contains large parts of your config and can be easily tested in a VM.

The locale default seeing has been fixed by me over a year ago but 16GB is pretty small to fit two systems which you need to switch.

Same experience with Debian. Preaching religious, unquestionable stability but a soon as you install an out of tree software, everything falls apart in your hands. Any Debian system I used fell apart on upgrades in some unrecoverable way an

Scheme is so much worse. It has so much repetition and is so much more verbose for no reason.

This sounds like a skill problem if you don't even know bash or rust or PHP syntax.
