Hey there.

I’m pretty interested in Nix, but I can’t see myself switching away from Gentoo really. I know it pretty much inside out and I can have the level of control over my system that my OCD needs. Over > 20 years, I’ve always come back to Gentoo after excursions elsewhere.

With that out of the way, I’ll say that exploring Nix is something I want to do eventually and is firmly pinned to my list of distros to try out. I guess the main thing that turns me off is the domain-specific language that’s used throughout. A similar and oft-compared system which also interests me is Guix, and it probably falls a little ahead of Nix on my to-try-out list owing to its use of Guile (like Scheme) for the same purpose.

Sorry, I was offline for a day or two, thank you!

Man, this might even motivate me to stop putting it off and just jump on the train.

Haha, SimTower for classic MacOS. I’ve always wanted to put together a clone of it.

Cool! I use termux every day and I’m excited. I’ll get in touch with the termux devs and see if we can maaaybe get a link on their Github page, and do word-spreading.

Posted. Let me know if anything looks weird or a link doesn’t work. I’m pretty nitpicky about things reading correctly, so there will likely be edits. Thanks.

Whoops, I’m not sure if you meant that for me or the OP, UrNightmaree. Either way, I’m a huge Termux fan and am happy to help make it a cool and welcoming place.

That would be awesome, thanks. I just finished writing out a welcome post for the community, which I will submit momentarily.
