@drewdevault NixOS is probably the worst cases of functional fervour i am aware of. Some of the OK ideas like "the package manager has a full picture of all software on the system" makes sense in a vacuum. But NixOS does it in a way that breaks too many assumptions and in such a way that makes using it, makes you suffer from dogmatism.

consfigurator for Debian is probably saner overall while keeping the "declarative OS" lark

@drewdevault NixOS may not be for you, but I believe it has its uses. Would not use that emoticon...

@drewdevault Just continue to use the mess that Debian/Arch/whatever from yesteryear is and believe in the bash/perl/pile of unix tools spaghetto.

@zardoz03 @drewdevault The problem with Debian is, that after a short while it just inherently becomes a big mess unless you are really, really strict with yourself and it feels like a big ball and pulling anywhere just keeps on pulling more things out of the ball.

To be fair I only like NixOS because it's fun not because it's good.
Oh and also because it's forcing people to finally respect the PREFIX variable in their makefiles.
