and yet:

actually okay to make a serious take: probably my most steaming "nixos is bad" take isn't absolute it's that people way overuse nixpkgs service modules and treat nixos like an orchestrator when it rly rly rly isn't

I see this all the time yeah for one off services it's fine but the amount of delusion there is about this is concerning, how have some edgy nixos users negatively polarized themselves against containers?

more serious take: the module system used in nixos is horrible, slow, and unintuitive

to be fair your societal utility is generating novel and potentially innovative albeit often flawed takes, it's a cost we bear for progress tbh, mining with dynamite for the best takes comes with a lot of coal
