I’ve only tinkered with Nix in a VM so I’m no expert, but I will say this: for every person that raves about it, it seems there’s someone else who decided that the hassle of learning an entirely new way to do pretty much everything on a Linux system, often with sparse documentation, wasn’t worth the time investment.

Your experience sounds pretty much par for the course, to me. People who think Arch is hard have obviously never tried Nix.

Yea, with the lack of mod tools here you don’t have that many options really.

You guys have my sympathy. I’m a pretty strong critic of Apple and their products but I’d never go out of my way to interfere with communities of Apple users. That’s just kinda pathetic.

Unfortunately, I don’t see that there’s much you can do about this apart from strictly moderate the comments section and just try to ignore the up/downvote discrepancies.
