 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * This is just bad. There is no world in which I want Nix to lie about the system like that in marketing material, for example :D | 21:21:56 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * Fancy website, no tech explanation attempted. | 21:22:53 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | The points made about the graphical package management, welcome-tour and stuff, very valid, and I think that's something Nix needs, for sure. | 21:23:57 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Nix's primitives allow for something like this to exist. It just won't be possible to have rich control over the system without it. | 21:25:54 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | flatpaks, appimages, docker, they don't change your dns settings. They don't configure systemd. They don't let you set much of anything on the system really. | 21:26:23 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Reading through their docs, they have reinvented a lot of wheels. | 21:31:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | And I do not see any mention of system management, which is the key distinction. They only talk about package management, they don't mention anything about configuring the system. | 21:32:22 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | If I understand correctly, they've made a tool that uses flatpak's tool, to manage flatpaks.. | 21:45:28 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Their "installer" logic seems quite interesting though, and I definitely want to do this myself for Nix. | 21:45:39 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | we do boot: in this comparison, but we don't do system: or roots: | 21:47:05 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I don't actually see a reason we can't do those, one time, passed to nixos-install. | 21:47:18 |
