Eventually the proper name for the operating system will just be the full configuration.nix file, and we'll all rename our backups to "FullLegalName"OS

In this future, NixOS replaces all other distros as the defacto standard way to manage packages

If only nix wasn't such a pain to read, with all the conveniences it has like automatically looking up variables in all of the places available.

I understand the thought, but it feels like a lot of things done to simplify writing the code makes it way harder to read, and nix's design is decades old and it really shows

Also, there are sometimes issues with nix on macos, but I'm inclined to blame it on Apple

Apple ruins everything it touches and sells the solution as a product or service
