     @grips Imagine Ansible with a shittier configuration language, but an operating system. Good if you need to deploy a bunch of machines with the same configuration, useless for everything else.

     @Yoruka It's manageable and since when you do it correctly everything is declarative, you can easily rollback to a previous functioning configuration. And yes, it's a pain to maintain, because the Nix language is utter garbage with barely any documentation.

     @phnt NixOS in a server? That seems like a pain to maintain

     @grips @phnt I use nix for work and it sucks ass (they use iOS so it could be worse, it is at least linux compatible)
     I can't imagine having that for a whole OS. the system updates would be a week long operation you do in the background

     @Cyrillic @grips I would probably kms if I need to use nix for working with a repo. My goto for unpackaged software that can be installed as a user is usually pkgsrc, but I don't think it can help you that much in this case. And since it's for work anyway, they sometimes get very pretentious with "unapproved" software.
