The author raises some good questions about the licensing of the core utils. Why the MIT license? Why not stick to GNU GPL?

    Try NixOS. If you can make it work for you then you will never go back. Learning curve is pretty steep though.

      as someone who uses NixOS I wouldn’t recommend NixOS. sure it makes the hard things easy but it makes the easy things hard.

      Then you potentially fall into the trap of configuration hell where you’re just constantly tinkering to get that sweet spot. I have to take vacations from NixOS otherwise I wouldn’t get any work done. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE it but it’s not for everyone.

      Fun fact: if the learning curve is steep, then it’s rising up a lot in a small amount of time. In order words, a steep learning curve means a lot of learning happens quickly!
