Relatable 💯 I had a basic functional system after the third time trying NixOS. But then I started trying to get my old workflow and programs back and anything missing from nixpkgs was such a pain.

But I persevered and now keep trying to get others ~~interested~~ to share the pain, but they (rightfully) aren't very excited about the prospects. These are people working in tech and who have written code for at least 5 years BTW.

Unfortunately my efforts of communicating problems and solutions to the NixOS community mostly fall upon deaf ears or resistance. Maybe it's the way I communicate it. Dunno.
