Given the recent upheavals in the Nix community, I have no doubt this is just the first fork, and we’ll see more in the coming weeks and months.
Nix is my daily driver, and I’ve been seriously considering ditching it until things settle down in the community and some fork becomes the favored option.
Before I’d consider Lix, frankly I need more information about the core team and their view of the events of the last 6 months. I’m primed to want to like this project, but I’m feeling really cautious after experiencing the particular kind of toxicity that was at the root of the turmoil.
Yeah, as I was reading the team page, I realized I have no idea how to judge these inevitable forks at the moment because while I’m a Nix user, I don’t know the individual community players well enough to understand their perspective and/or in involvement in the kerfuffle without digging deeper.
What I do know is that there were attitudes and behaviors on display in the community that I’d like to steer clear of going forward, and I’ll migrate to (or stay) wherever those attitudes are not. Time will tell, and I do hope there’s a strong fork that can improve on Nix and move beyond the past issues.
