@am @wizard because of the upfront learning curve involved with learning nix, the current instability in what workflow they expect you to use (config? flakes? home-manager? nobody knows!), software that isn't packaged (in general this isn't a thing, but there will always be at least one or two programs where this is true, and at least for me likely no easy substitutes for them), and the time investment stemming from all these things (as someone who is relatively inexperienced with computers to begin with), nixos is just a very hard sell for me even if I very much get the appeal of it in theory
