| uep | * me three, but if someone just wants to try out a new distro it's a legitimate obstacle | 05:17:31 |
 hexa | fiiiiine | 05:17:34 |
| ElvishJerricco | the graphical installer has no doubt been a huge contributor to NixOS's large increase in popularity in the past two years | 05:17:45 |
| uep | and thus | 05:18:05 |
| hexa | yeah, and I'm not sure I like that 😛 | 05:18:07 |
| ElvishJerricco | (granted, I for one do not value "growing the userbase" like other people seem to) | 05:18:17 |
| hexa | I feel like the average committer we've onboarded these last few years has been a nuisance | 05:18:32 |
| hexa | well, that's probably a bit too strong, but you know what I mean | 05:19:03 |
| hexa | we're attracting a different crowd now | 05:19:17 |
| ElvishJerricco | Yea I think people often don't realize that growth is actually a problem because it puts more demand on everything you do, and growing the tools / people to meet that demand quickly is very very difficult | 05:19:25 |
| hexa | one that jumps at the graph where we have the most and the freshest packages | 05:19:33 |
| hexa | sigh | 05:19:34 |

| hexa | ???? | 05:37:48 |
| hexa | not even a maintainer 😄 smh | 05:38:14 |
 @emma:rory.gay | hm, does discussion go on the PR or here? lol | 05:38:57 |
| hexa | if you want to discuss the implementation that goes on the PR | 05:39:24 |
| @emma:rory.gay | then i suppose it goes here: i feel like using NM by default in the graphical installer makes a lot of sense, the entire networking confused the hell out of me when i started using nixos lol | 05:40:26 |
| hexa | this is not about the installer, but about the default config rendered for the installation | 05:40:57 |
