 I'm going down the rabbit hole with self-hosting, and Sovran Systems seems pretty awesome.

What's the deal with NixOS, recently? I'm just scratching the surface on the whole debacle, but it seems like the project is turning into a woke dumpster fire.

#NixOS 
 Hey @Nope Noperson thanks for reaching out! Yes, I am proud of Sovran Systems. 

Good question on the NixOS drama. I have not seen any of those issues impacting the releasing of software updates or any major news that immediate drastic changes are happening with the release schedules. It seems, at least on the software side, the git repos are business as usual. Also, I have not been following it too closely, as have to keep focused on the software needed for Sovran_SystemsOS.
 
 Thanks for responding!

Glad to hear. 
 It IS a woke dumpster fire, which is a shame, as the tech was pretty cool. I wouldn't recommended supporting them if you disagree with leftist ideology.  
 It's a bummer since Sovran Systems seems dope. 
 I hear this. However, NixOS is huge! It has the most package out of any Linux distor. It is the evolution of Linux. It will not just fade into the sunset. This is why I think the software is under attack. NixOS has changed the game in Linux and the folks who have experienced Nix and NixOS they won't go back to regular Linux.   
 Honestly, I begrudgingly left it behind. I like the technology, but I can't justify supporting it. I honestly hope something better comes around. That, or the community gets it's act in gear.
