      Eventually the proper name for the operating system will just be the full configuration.nix file, and we’ll all rename our backups to "FullLegalName"OS

      In this future, NixOS replaces all other distros as the defacto standard way to manage packages

        If only nix wasn’t such a pain to read, with all the conveniences it has like automatically looking up variables in all of the places available.

        I understand the thought, but it feels like a lot of things done to simplify writing the code makes it way harder to read, and nix’s design is decades old and it really shows

        Also, there are sometimes issues with nix on macos, but I’m inclined to blame it on Apple

        but to get there NixOS needs proper documentation

          When the heat death of the universe arrives, the Sackcloth and Ashes that is Slack will be there to mark it’s passing.

          Not even Debian will survive, but Slack will go on. Tar Balls Yum!

      Wayland isn’t actually a piece of software though. It’s a protocol. This isn’t like X11.
