I have used NixOS for a year and it is highly needs suiting. It is the only distribution that tries to radically improve package management and configuration, and that's pretty much the only differentiator between distributions (apart from what the installer looks like I guess).

if you care about that then you must be installing or upgrading a package at any point other than building an image, so you’re already doomed to janitoring

The fact that Hans Reiser is a callous murderer is not up for debate. However, murderfs has been a very stable, safe, and usable filesystem for the time that I used it (what, early 200X or so?). It does not have the chattr caveats that, say, btrfs has, or the copyright issues or SMR compatibility issues that (raid enabled) openzfs has.

it was really funny when tech journalists tried to push endlessly that hans reiser wasn't actually a murderer or that it was actually debatable as if people had to care or actually cared at all and then he was and they shut up but it got us that wikipedia edit and that was good so who's to say if that murder was good or bad?

Speaking of the murderer Hans Reiser, he had a parole hearing in March which was DENIED. Next hearing is in 2023. EDIT: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser

It's not that I don't like Unity, or I have bad feelings about Shuttleworth, or that the logo doesn't agree with me. It's much more fundamental: The Ubuntu model for development is broken.
