> a former NixOS user Why did the author stop using NixOS? This is the first time I'm hearing about a veteran NixOS user giving up on it.

It mostly seems due to some drama going on in the Nix community rather than some technical reason. https://xeiaso.net/blog/2024/much-ado-about-nothing/

I would call the situation "a complete failure of management" instead of "drama".

Incorrect sir. I am way more concerned about my wife and kids as end users than i am about any employees

You're more concerned about your home Plex server going down than the service you run at work?

The spouse and family also have access to me at my most vulnerable, while I sleep. If you really think about it my position is the obviously cortect one.

This is the exact talking point I used to defend React on HN. Yes, you may not like it or even hate it, but the fact that it has some degree of industry-standardness makes React a good choice simply because you can hire for it easier than for your bespoke javascript framework.
