Late to the party but just read your article and I share a lot of the struggle you said. I don't know if I can fix that by just going back to Arch. I've tried, with different levels of success, a mix between Arch and Nix, but that adds another issue of inter-compatibility of system packages between Arch and Nix which often it's a no-go.

The thing I enjoy the most on NixOS is the ability to make something, then remove it if I don't need it and don't have to worry about config files that are in an unknown-to-me path. But then there is the stateful aspect of the programs I used that I have to keep track of...

How can such a simple code change fixes such a big vulnerability?

Maybe using Nix it's a better experience for creating such an environment where you depending also on system utilities.

It's not just a play. It's business. There are so many people to invest on either Google or Microsoft, if more people wants to invest on Microsoft, some will do it at the expense of Google shares.
