I remember the discussion I had with some NixOS community members, warning them that deliberately creating hype and memes around #NixOS would risk ruining its reputation due to people getting annoyingly evangelist about it, and being told that I was worrying too much and there's nothing wrong with a bit of marketing.

Mentioning this for no particular reason.

At least a fair amount of people followed the practice of "do not tell people to use NixOS without mentioning its problems or without a concrete offer of help", so it's less bad than it could have been. But some folks... didn't do that.

@joepie91 oof yeah, I've been told by some people to use NixOS without mentioning how difficult it is for someone who doesn't work with text files all day, and they only acknowledged that after I brought it up

It does sound super cool though, I just wish all the management stuff that goes into making it super cool could be done from a GUI 😅

Maybe a bit ironic since I use an Arch based disto, but even there I can live in the GUI most of the time and only deal with config files when I need to do something more advanced or deal with an issue brought on by me using an Arch-based distro
