Software Distributions and Their Roles Today

Maybe add an abstract? I read part of this, then started skimming, and eventually read the conclusion, but I’m still not sure what point(s) are being made.

Also, questions should end with a question mark, even if they’re rhetorical.

As usual with dynamic linking, the use for plugins and dynamic program configurations keeps being forgotten on these kind of lists.

It isn't only about saving space.

If you're looking to try out Nix, let me know if I something is missing on https://nix.dev/

Hey mate, does it make sense adding https://www.libhunt.com/lang/nix to the "Links" section of nix.dev? I think it could be helpful to new Nix ppl trying to discover new projects. (Disclosure, I'm working on LibHunt)

nice read!

Yeah, its long, but really a good informative read with some good links as well...!

Who is the target audience?

I skimmed through it, and most of it seems common knowledge for the HN crowd.

Yeah probably more for beginners but figure it would be good to pass on to others.
