I see Determinate Systems as a VC-funded, for-profit fork of Nix (in the broader sense). It seems to me that by having an alternate installer, alternate documentation, an alternate community, &c. that promotes an alternate experimental technology (flakes), DetSys seeks to establish itself as a commercial alternative Nix ecosystem. My understanding was that your recent blog post invited Nix community members to join the DetSys community. If I am wrong, then I am more than willing to be corrected. I sincerely appreciate your work and willingness to answer questions. this relationship | 10:19:05 |
 Arian | We never had a very monolithic community in the first place. I find the suggestion of "alternate" community really strange. | 10:22:42 |
| Arian | We've always had small islands of communities flocking around nix. Krebs, tvl, OceanSprint just to identify some | 10:23:39 |
 lord-valen | I don't see any reason to comment on it before Eelco affirms or denies that that Determinate Systems presents itself as an alternate community. | 10:24:41 |
