A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

"Seriously, NixOS is the new Arch when it comes to telling people you use it" ...as an Arch user, I feel both attacked and intrigued.
But seriously, it's pretty amazing how far the community has come now that having to use the package manager through the command line and editing config files is considered a significant barrier to entry. I'm interested to give it a try to see if the purported advantages with respect to reproducibility and portability are actually robust enough to suit my own use cases.
