They have virtually no moderators (they all quit because they were burnt out and manipulated), filled with racist 
, and are associated deeply with anti-migrant violence and warmongering (Anduril) who hire people straight out of NixOS to build weapons to fund imperialism everywhere.
Go use Guix instead (they don’t rely on free GitHub credits or limitless AWS S3 buckets) and are objectively superior on a technical standpoint (no “experimental features” that everyone considers stable) and don’t give any shit about nonfree software unless you provide it, or only contribute to nixpkgs (collective infra) and outside projects like Lix/Snix.
Avoid the NixOS community at all costs if you value your emotional labor. Even the chuds have done this with things like Determinate Systems Nix (“Nix without the drama”) and making their own corpo shill platform called “flakehub”

There is no liberalism anymore, only fascist cultural hegemony that will take over every space it can.
Niri is far better. It uses the GNOME desktop portal so you’ll actually have a fully functioning portal, it uses Smithy and Rust instead of CPP (so it shares technical infrastructure with COSMIC another promising DE).
The lead maintainer is also part of GNOME as well which doesnt view racism against white people as legitimate (based!)
They also don’t have a discord server that harasses trans people.
Never stop GNOME, never stop…
Edit:
The comments on this video are fucking golden too, lol.
Petridis is genuinely based and will fuck anyone up who doesn’t say Free Palestine with him.
GNOME and KDE winning just by having competent public relations managers and based politics. Literally bare minimum.
Holy I didn’t know Gnome devs were so based LOL.
+ 1 to the Gnome W list
There’s all kinds of little easter eggs scattered across the GNOME ecosystem and projects in their orbit, here’s a screenshot from the Flathub quality guidelines last year, sadly it has been changed but, it existed at one point!
And here’s another bit from a program developed by a previous board member (who’s name you may recognize from drama involving them a few months back), the first preview image you see for their program’s page on Flathub
and there was screenshots for the GNOME Podcast app on the apps.gnome.org page some time ago that showed Blowback and TrueAnon, it seems to have been changed also and I’m too lazy to try to scroll through Web Archive to find it, so you’ll just have to take my word!
Oh wow, I’m really glad you shared this :)
Based Easter eggs in and around my favourite DE is just ~w~
Maybe one day I’ll make an app that gets into Gnome circle so I can smuggle in JDPON memes or something LOL
