 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Supporting native Windows seems like a waste of engineering resources, unless some dedicated people want to do it | 09:17:36 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Especially since WSL exists, and Microsoft maintain that, because even they realize that Windows isn't worth supporting | 09:17:58 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Not sure if good marketing, but I made a flake for this guy who tried to reproduce some 6 year old Rust code, unprompted. Wonder if he'll appreciate it or not. | 12:59:03 |

 @rapenne-s:tchncs.de | In my peertube reupload of "What's new in Nix 2.8.0 - 2.12.0?", I got a puzzling comment 😅 https://videos.pair2jeux.tube/w/5oUYt2VQfiQwQyohbR2ifD;threadId=89325
I know its not the aim of this video but I still don’t understand what is "NixOS"? It call itself an OS the descriptions says its a package manager. Is it a full OS? A Linux distribution? A package manager like apt? If it’s a package manager can I use it only on certain distrib or on any one I want?
I think this tells good about how nix is perceived from people at first glance | 09:50:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | This is the common problem of the "Nix Trinity". People don't ask "What is the difference between Arch and Pacman", this is an easy one to demystify. The fact that they ask the question is good, because it means they're curious and-or interested. | 13:10:55 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I do not think we should try to eliminate it, I think this is the initial intrigue that people have with NixOS. | 13:11:18 |

| otti0815 | Does anybody know how to address Issues in the Nix language guide? In the part "Interactive evaluation" is a :q at the end missing to show how to exit "nix eval". | 07:31:56 |
| otti0815 | I couldn't find the part in git | 07:32:20 |

Kicking off the Nix 20th anniversary team if folks want to join.
Goal is to get as many eyeballs on Nix, meet up (foundation will help sponsor) and do Nix (maybe some virtual content as well?)
