NixOS missed its shot again. The community has been head down in their flame wars on their forums about ideology that they are missing the train on so many things.

Theoretically, NixOS has everything has Bazzite has and more, but the major thing it lacks is an interface to manage it. There is one single project that made some headway on the topic (SnowflakeOS), but it was kinda rejected by the community. I think the NixOS community's level of thinking is at the same level the Linux community's was in 2005 or so: "GUIs are for suckers" and "it will be eternal September if we let the lusers in".

Give NixOS another decade and maybe they'll start focusing on actually making the OS usable for normies so that channels like GN can use it.
