It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
nix being 20 years old and still lacking decent documentation on the language it's what hurts me the most, because the people who do know it works so some amazing things with it
...to get a working config, you need to learn a whole new programming language and figure out the tweaks for each package you want to install, so I'd argue the journey is just as long
That's why you go for GNU Guix instead, since it's the same kind of concept but configured using the Guile Scheme you already know.
(You do already know Scheme, right?)
NixOS sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.
Systemd sounds like a way to avoid learning Linux by learning an abstraction.
that's why I only use my computer with raw system calls, shell is bloat
You guys use an OS? I just push the electrons around my motherboard manually with a little magnet on a toothpick.
That's not true.
You have to get PhD in functional programming first.
Wait, are you saying my degree has real world use?
I think Endeavour OS is like that too. I have 2 "unfixable" bugs on my arch installation that can never be removed. I have to manually do 2 annoying workaround tasks every time I turn on my computer before I can use it and this will likely never go away. I've been told both these issues can't be fixed without a complete os reinstall and even then it might not go away. I booted into an Endeavour OS live usb and what do you know, both those bugs were fixed out of the box. Endeavour is based on Arch. The kernel it was running was a kernel number release after my installation developed both of these "forever" bugs.
Arch is great and all but holy fuck I'm sick and tired of this fucking bullshit all the time. One of these times I'm going to type sudo pacman -Syu and it will develop yet a third unfixable forever bug. This is the same shit that drove me away from Windows: uncontrollable degradation over time that can't be fixed without os reinstall. Even Gentoo isn't this unforgiving.
