This isn’t just a fork of Nix—this is the work of a team of 10+ people near-constantly since early February. (Technically, us too — but our task is really just enabling others.)

Some serious work has gone into ensuring it improves on upstream without having the regressions that have plagued them last three major versions!

And, since this will matter to some — it’s not a project of the NixOS foundation, but an independent organization that takes its responsibility to its community seriously.

      ^ the NixOS leadership tolerating people like this is one of the reasons why Lix exists, in case you were wondering

      Oc the og based gigachad PhD holder didn’t just force through a RFC which causes thousands of regressions in the main repo. Nix community is sure healthy under this kind of leadership.

        This is what is so ridiculous to me. The Nix team does borderline incompetent shit like this, but the real problem with the project is “le woke”? Give me a break.
