Why I Left NixOS for Ubuntu (fd93.me)

Hey all, thought this might be of interest to some here.

Wrote about why I moved from NixOS to Ubuntu after using it for several months on my daily driver. Suspect that this take is likely to be kind of controversial and court claims of skill issues, which might even be true.

Let me know what you think.

More serious than this is the rare occasions Nix packages conflict with each other. While Nix separates dependencies, it doesn't separate them as absolutely as a full container system like Docker. Therefore it is possible, albeit unlikely, to end up with conflicts between versions of installed libraries.

Never tried it but thanks for dispelling the hype. What a meme OS.
