   I'm pretty much Team Guix right now because they at least use a language that also gets used for other things.

   (The one time I used Nix, it was to solve a specific work problem. It went okay because there were a couple of plain-English posts that addressed the extremely rare and uncommon task I was trying to accomplish (install a specific version of a tool) but had I not found them, it would have been faster to just build it by hand.)

     @suetanvil @SpindleyQ I would have switched to guix years ago if it weren't for their awful wifi holier-than-thou gatekeeping tbh, absolutely no patience for that level of user-hostility despite liking the underlying concepts

     @suetanvil @SpindleyQ yeah no worries; I think I came across as harsher than I meant but that was not meant to be directed at you

     Oh, um, never mind then. I find the concepts cool in principal but IRL, mature and robust will always beat new and cool so I stick with apt-based distros.

     So my opinion on this is *really* shallow.
