Yep. NixOS inspired me to write my very first package manager package. I distro hopped to Arch Linux and wrote a PKGBUILD for that.

I’m back on NixOS

For anything more complicated than an alias, I tend to suck it up and write a program. I used to keep launcher scripts in ~/bin but I’ve recently taken to creating package manager packages for them. I’ve learned how to do that with NixOS and Arch Linux and I peeked at the Debian documentation.

Why don’t you like Debian?

man man

Why in the world is -S used for install?

I’ve been using Linux for years and years. I get the subjective sense it is a system built by engineers for engineers. I can examine, poke, prod, and break every aspect of the system. I consider that a bonus and it’s how I learn about computers.

I can fly through the system with my terminal

Etc

Edit: Centralized software package and dependency management is awesome
