  • It’s there to solve your “This is boring” issue without having to do all of the system configuration stuff manually*.

    I was able to package a nightly AppImage as if it were installed normally like an app, and I could reinstall the system if I wanted to, and it’d still be there. NixOS is the opposite of manual dependency resolution, it’s dependency heaven. You can have unstable and stable repositories side-by-side, living in a utopic egalitarian society. You can write a configuration file that does everything. You can do anything with NixOS. NixOS is the one true god, all hail NixOS—

    Ah, I see why you may not want to use it. Consider it though, it’s genuinely good and trying doesn’t hurt.

    I haven’t even told you about nix-comma or nix helper (nh) yet. May the, uh, flake be with you.

    *You do have to write the config files, though you can just adapt someone else’s configuration.







  • Side topic: I think Pascal’s Wager is stupid because what if there is a god and it only sends believers to hell? What if there is a good and it sends everyone to hell no matter what? What if there is a god and it didn’t make an afterlife and won’t interfere in actual life, so why even bother? What if there’s a flying spaghetti monster out there and that’s what god is?
