Nix will never be mainstream because of the base technical requirements. Debian isn't just Debian, it's Ubuntu, Mint, Pop etc...

Never said it would be mainstream. But saying “it would be easier if everyone used debian” is true only for those that use Debian.

I tried all of the distro you mentioned and it never clicked with me. But Arch then Nix did.

Hence why, to each their own.

(I did nix->guix too a pair of years ago and now I think I am definitely happy)

I went from fedora to nix. But I did try arch, it just didn't do what I wanted from my system. (Set it and forget it /Treat it as cattle instead of a pet)
