How do you manage your packages with Nix?

You never saw an IRC chatroom archive?
Na kopeng, mi pensa im say you a welwala...
Also, can't you just delete posts and comments like on Reddit?
Not really AFAIK. Your comment is spread across many instances, and they're not required to follow your deletion request.
Suse would get more hate if they stopped working with opensuse.
And that doesn't extend to Fedora and free RHEL licences? Or all of the FOSS projects redhat is funding and contributing to? No demerits for Suse helping MS pressure the entire Linux community for over a decade?
Canonical provides their stuff publicly, except for long term support after five years, but that decision does get hate.
You can still get the redhat source code with the free licence, GPL ensures that. You just can't act like Oracle, reskin RHEL, and sell enterprise support for it.
Meanwhile there are businesses that literally don't release any of their improvements to FOSS software because it's running on their servers and so they don't have to. Now that really goes against the core ideology of GPL 2 which is: "I give you my code, you give me your changes".
Publicly traded companies almost always make shitty capitalist decisions. Now, remember that canonical sold user data to Amazon, played ads in the terminal, and that their IPO is still in the works.
Go north a bit and there are 2 competing criteria to get free university education:
-
you're in top % of your class
-
you've collected a certain number of points by passing courses
I've seen both in action, and the top student model is pretty shit because it encourages backstabbing instead of solidarity. Even if there's no direct backstabbing, people are less likely to help their colleagues because it can negatively impact them.
A small group of extremely powerful people being the only ones who can save the world is capitalist propaganda no matter if it's superheros or magical ninjas.
Don't forget that Ubuntu was the first distro to both sell user data to Amazon, and show you ads in the terminal. But it seems like everyone forgets about it as soon as canonical goes "whoops, our bad, we didn't think you'd mind, it's opt in/out now".
On top of that I've seen allegations that they're illegally collecting data from Azure Ubuntu users to send them spam about Ubuntu enterprise.

Bossmang, I know that we're paying more for RHEL licences than for the entire IT department, but if we switch to Arch we'll cut down the costs significantly.

Such distro, much hopping
Meat stickers that detect ammonia and block the barcode if the meat has spoiled.
The stopwatch is only working while it's on the screen and the screen is active. Notifications stay there until you manually discard them. The heart rate sensor is a complete toy since you can only manually trigger it, and it took 2 years for the infinitime devs to read the sensor docs and realise their algorithm is bad. The step counter can only automatically sync, so when it fails to do so for half a day you need to walk around and shake your wrist while keeping you phone and watch screens active. And the list of fails continues beyond that.
On top of that it costs 65€ ($75) when ordering from the European warehouse, and they don't allow you to order from the main one because it would end up cheaper. Don't waste your money unless you need a reason to practice cpp.

Tumbleweed is recommended often here.
I occasionally try out Opensuse since like 2007, but I always find the alternatives better. Why Tumbleweed over Arch, why Leap over Fedora/Debian, why suse over RHEL?
