“and we are thereforerenaming the project Joséer González”

Terrified Pro Max.

Terrified Robespierre St Just.

Also, a fraction of packages, users and guides.

I think Guix is great, but as a NixOS enthusiast who genuinely wanted to try it out, I gave up in the face of the lack of docs for people who aren’t working in lab or have a PhD in computing of some sort.

Also, how is shepherd better than systems? Genuinely curious.

Lastly, I agree Nix is not a very enjoyable language, but scheme doesn’t look like a very beginner friendly option either. Could be wrong, I’m not a programmer.

The main advantage of NixOS containers, to my limited understanding, is that since they are built by Nix, all dependencies are updated with nixpkgs (no woefully out of date stuff in one of the layers of the container image) and you can pin these if you need to.

I’d like to understand the differences and similarities between the two better too though.
