A piece of advice regarding #NixOS: You know how it's really difficult to find something similar to replace it with?
That also means that if worst comes to worst, a fork is very likely to happen - because there are going to be many other people *also* looking to replace it.
I would recommend not panicking yet, and instead keeping an eye out for further developments. Even if NixOS dies, that doesn't mean the community does.
Thanks to @link2xt, #DeltaTouch is now in #Nixpkgs!
Also, very nice support by the #NixOS folks, thank you.

NixOS is not reproducible
Okay, sorry for the clickbait. NixOS is not reproducible according to the Reproducible Builds definition. I keep reading people making this claim repeatedly on orange-site, even LWN.linderud.dev
I independently reproduced the #NixOS minimal installation ISO!
This is an amazing milestone for me personally: I've been involved in #ReproducibleBuilds since 2017 and #NixOS since 2019, and have been slowly chipping away at this problem. While there is much more to do to further reap the benefits of reproducibility, this is a long-awaited tangible benefit.
For more about the What, Why, How and What Next, check the post below :)
NixOS Reproducible Builds: minimal installation ISO successfully independently rebuilt
We have successfully created an independent, bit-by-bit-identical rebuild of the nixos-minimal ISO published by Hydra 🎉 Why is this useful? While there are a number of ‘side-benefits’, the main point of Reproducible Builds is that it gives us a rel…NixOS Discourse
I will just wait until it pops up natively on #NixOS stable, cannot imagine that will take long.
I have no complaints about the current interface, but I don’t mind getting something a bit more in line with what is usual in interface design today too. 👍🏻
I have been a thunderbird user for decades now and I still recommend it to everybody!
Thank you very much!

NixOS Series #1: Why Should You Consider Using NixOS?
NixOS is an exciting distribution. Let's take a look why you might want to give it a try.Sagar Sharma (It's FOSS)
I think two things that makes #NixOS and #Neovim great are: (1) The Community /People are simply awesome (2) Both communities have standardized on #Matrix so I chat to everyone on #Matrix! If you are on #Matrix lets chat, if not join! Find out more via @matrixdotorg@twitter.com or AMA!

I wrote a matrix bot for nixpkgs pull request notifications.
It‘s like the cool https//nixpk.gs/tracker.html by @qyliss, which shows you which release channels a pull request has reached.
With the bot you can subscribe and get notifications, whenever it reaches a channel instead of hammering F5 in your browser tab.
Just open a query to https://matrix.to/#/@nixpkgs-bot:maralorn.de and send "help".
Looking forward to you all stress testing it!
