MEE6#4876 | Why NixOS?
1. Reproducible - produces exactly the same build every time.
2. Unless early boot is broken, boots to a consistent state.
3. Can easily rollback to the previous system configuration state.
4. Declarative config FOR EVERYTHING!
5. Integration with a whole bunch of packages. Your beloved GUI rices included.
6. Cloud integration. Brilliant Docker images, also magic like NixOps
7. Portability - Nix runs on Linux and macOS, and takes 5 minutes to install (clone config and you're done).
8. Free of side effects - Actually uninstalls packages and its dependencies
9. Bleeding and stable - Can run multiple versions of the package without conflicts
10. Implicit containerization - Lorri and direnv make switching between project-local tooling easy.
11. Virtual Machines - VFIO is EASY to set up and perform declaratively (much more so than arch).
12. Kernel hacking - Kernel flags and patches are easy to add to config.
13. Use flags + source-based - each package has overrides to allow (or disallow) features to be built. Makes for a lean mean machine. Binary caching for speed.
TL;DR: as bleeding edge as Arch, as stable as Ubuntu, as flexible as Gentoo. How can you say no? https://nixos.org/#asciinema-demo-cover | 17:47:09 |

Gavinok#4195 | G(H)C you given Shen a try? I had heard about it before but didn't really interest me. Though now in giving it a real try and it's really fun to work with. | 15:42:39 |
Mr. Colors | shen? | 15:46:08 |
Mr. Colors | i haven't heard of that before | 15:46:18 |

Mr. Colors | ah | 15:56:55 |
Mr. Colors | very interesting | 15:56:57 |
Gavinok#4195 | It's got a ton of ports to different languages but not really any libraries. You are just expected to use Interop. It's surprisingly enjoyable and of course had a nice cl port | 16:00:37 |
Gavinok#4195 | http://gravicappa.github.io/shen-js/shen.html#/.doc/welcome.html if you wanna try it out | 16:32:08 |
