It's not an article about competition. Forcing nixos in to any linux relevant discussion is a bit awkward, yea?

No hate, but I don't really feel like Arch + opinionated dotfiles is really in the same space as NixOS. If someone found setting up Hyprland or just installing Arch and some packages to be overly difficult, I can't imagine what they'd think of Nix.

There's a sweet omarchy-nix config that I really like https://github.com/henrysipp/omarchy-nix

Nix is not competition. Nix is not attracting thousands and thousands of new, young Linux users and potential future contributors like Arch+Hyprland are.

		Nix seems really cool, and I'd like to explore it. I'm spending more time with OpenBSD right now as that approach just seems simpler. I use Artix and hyprland at home though. It's a better desktop experience, I think. The only reason I'd use OpenBSD or NixOS in the desktop would be to try and learn it more so I was more comfortable in deployment.

		I don’t know if either are attracting thousands, but both are attracting a lot, to be sure.

I don't get the sense that NixOS has much traction in desktop linux.

I don't give a shit about NixOS.
