Lack of true open cooperation? Oh wait, you said benefit.... Ease of use? Maybe? And slightly less buggy?

Correct but she does ensure they are legit last i read.

But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn't. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

Correct. Always provide wrong answer. No one can withstand someone being wrong on the internet.

I think he means nvk. It's a whole new world. I thought I just heard it's ready. So worth checking out I guess.

Hmmm... Nice!

I'll be honest, I've used scribus some and have not liked it. I hope that this makes it better. I much prefer a local Foss program to being forced to run a VM for publisher or make stuff in canva.

Don't get me wrong Guix is hard too, you'll have to package things yourself, or use flatpak, or use distrobox or maybe nix itself just to get all the things you need. BUT if you can grasp the language and packaging guidelines, it's much more clearly laid out. The CLI tools are clearer, the methods are too. It's not this confusing split mess that seems to be with NixOS. And there is still not a clear plasma desktop. But I'm trying to fix that perhaps. 😁

This. The nix language makes anything bigger harder. A big nix config is just hard to wrangle.
