They have virtually no moderators (they all quit because they were burnt out and manipulated), filled with racist lmayo, and are associated deeply with anti-migrant violence and warmongering (Anduril) who hire people straight out of NixOS to build weapons to fund imperialism everywhere.

Go use Guix instead (they don’t rely on free GitHub credits or limitless AWS S3 buckets) and are objectively superior on a technical standpoint (no “experimental features” that everyone considers stable) and don’t give any shit about nonfree software unless you provide it, or only contribute to nixpkgs (collective infra) and outside projects like Lix/Snix.

Avoid the NixOS community at all costs if you value your emotional labor. Even the chuds have done this with things like Determinate Systems Nix (“Nix without the drama”) and making their own corpo shill platform called “flakehub”

There is no liberalism anymore, only fascist cultural hegemony that will take over every space it can.

        Oh yes Hyprland is dogshit both on a technical and social level. Please everyone use desktop environments instead, tiling is not unique to standalone compositors.

        Creator is a Polish nazi who got himself banned from wayland and Freedesktop for sending harassment emails to them claiming that they are “red hat spies”

        Bully Linux people hard, don’t let them get away with excusing fascism and poisioning the well.

            Niri is far better. It uses the GNOME desktop portal so you’ll actually have a fully functioning portal, it uses Smithy and Rust instead of CPP (so it shares technical infrastructure with COSMIC another promising DE).

            The lead maintainer is also part of GNOME as well which doesnt view racism against white people as legitimate (based!)

            They also don’t have a discord server that harasses trans people.

              Never stop GNOME, never stop…

              The comments on this video are fucking golden too, lol.

            Framework is a company that makes repairable modular computers, DHH is the inventor of ruby on rails and is a turbo rich white nazi.

            Framework CEO most likely talked to DHH, found him a “great” guy, and then made his company heavily promote Omarchy, a DHH dotfiles dump that just came out this June more often than any other other distribution.

            Now Framework CEO is ready to join the protracted C-suite war against woke.

    Ngl I’m not going to move to guix. I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t see the point in ceding ground to these MIC people. I use Lix on my systems and I’d happily switch to lixpkgs if that ever happens. I have never paid attention to whatever the nix steering committee is or what they do. Basically every company involved in tech is in bed with the MIC and probably Israel. I struggle to see the difference between HP and Framework. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Retreating to another more obscure version of the same type of tech is fine if that’s what you want to do, but imo it has just as much effect as me staying on nix.

    Which isn’t to say there aren’t good things about guix, its just not mature enough for my uses. I’ve spent a lot of years running my shit on experimental systems and it was fun, but I’m trying to spend my time on the PSL rn so I can’t really justify the time sink anymore.

    From what I have seen this corporation called Determinate Systems was always at the front and centre of Nix itself. I don’t know if it is because of hard work or marketing. The most popular installer for NixOS is built by them and they slowly changed its defaults to using their proprietary services (they have a proprietary daemon and that flakehub bullshit).

    I am hoping Lix can be Nix for normal people.

    Side note: I found Nix very confusing the one time I tried it and the determinate bullshit was definitely one of the lowest points.
