Nix and NixOS, my pain points
I agree with all the points in this post.<p>And, I love NixOS. It&#x27;s really special and very different than the other Linux I&#x27;ve used for 20 years.<p>I have been curious to try Guix at some point. Does anyone know if there is a good comparison write-up?<p>Also, can anyone speculate why the community has had such a hard time documenting this incredible technology? There are great posts like this from Xe: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xeiaso.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xeiaso.net&#x2F;</a> but not generally getting started guides that are up to date. Why is this so hard to do? I mean, I&#x27;m not doing it because I personally feel like everything I do to get something working on Nix is a quasi-hack and not the standard and most up-to-date way to do it, so I&#x27;m hesitant to share. But, surely there are experts that like to write. Is this a problem with a simple technology solution (choose a better documentation tool)?
