 problems | it doesn't pick up extra options added in newer versions of nixpkgs or flake modules, and it's possible to enable options that no longer exist | 23:10:21 |
| problems | i don't know where the discussion about that is but i'd like to see what people have considered for fixing it | 23:11:01 |

Something I've recently discovered is that with Nix being nebulous as it is, you'll end up in a situation where you won't be able to account for every single possible combination in which something is useed. | 23:12:59 |
| Maholmire | Which can make developing a GUI interface for specific Nix utilities somewhat of a pain. | 23:13:12 |

| problems | sure. nixos modules are well defined tho no? | 23:13:56 |

| Maholmire | It's less the language that is the issue than the numerous ways you can use and leverage Nix. | 23:15:25 |
| Maholmire | Rather than for example having a package list in a consistant, predictable spot that makes it easy for indexing and management, if you need to search through someone's Nix expressions to find out where and how they've decided to declaratively configure their applications and settings. | 23:16:25 |

| problems | yep. i submitted a ui suggestion to nixos-conf-editor i hope is easy enough to understand but it doesn't account for everything | 23:18:35 |
| problems | i'm a believer in small incremental improvements | 23:19:32 |
| Maholmire | Been a hot minute since I've used SnowflakeOS, myself. | 23:20:01 |
| Maholmire | Gave it a try before deciding it wasn't for me after having some trouble switching from GNOME to KDE using a bespoke flake for the project. | 23:20:30 |
| problems | right | 23:20:45 |
| Maholmire | Provided that it won't encounter too many issues with stuff like Impermanence, I may end up giving it another crack. | 23:21:48 |
| Maholmire | Though that's probably a question best left to vlinkz. | 23:25:05 |
