Hey all, thought this might be of interest to some here.

Wrote about why I moved from NixOS to Ubuntu after using it for several months on my daily driver. Suspect that this take is likely to be kind of controversial and court claims of skill issues, which might even be true.

Let me know what you think.

NixOS is a reproducible OS. I wouldn’t call it immutable.

It’s not really fully reproducible either.

Isn’t it fully reproducible with flakes?

Nope, nix doesn’t ensure or require that the builds are deterministic. It’s not any better in that regard than other package managers.
