People use it on a single machine to escape the inevitable breakage in rolling release distros and at the same time avoid admitting that point release distros were right all along.

Look, are you saying you met a large amount of programmers that use Ubuntu? My post was to inform you that despite what you think, you are unimportant and so is your argument. ad nauseum popularum publicam non sequitor

Ubuntu for those who don't want to try new things, it comes on the company laptops that come with Linux and it's good enough for most use cases
Never seen nixOS out in a the wild. Usually I see it in cloud environments. I have seen shops use the nix package manager though.
I have never seen any company use slackware anywhere. I would be curious where OP sees slackware being used in any industry. What company names, what industries at all.

webshitting isn't programming, sorry to tell you
I don't
NixOS is an amazing solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Seems like it could be super useful in a corporate environment where you maintain a fleet. I don't know why people run it on a single machine, though.

>two versions of the same package installed at the same time
>purity
purely inbred just like speds who use this garbage instead of gentoo
gentoo isn't pure either
also
>can't have two versions of the same library installed at the same time
trash
Nixgays and Genpootards have literally never heard of /usr/local and /opt.
You are wasting your entire life solving problems that were solved long ago.
>not being managed by package managers
>manually manages /usr/local
you might as well use LFS if you don't want to use package manager
fricking moron
>can't have two versions of the same library in /usr/local/lib
please frick off
thank you
>>You are wasting your entire life solving problems that were solved long ago.
the package manager does it for me, i don't need to do shit
>PLS manually copy files and create symlinks
Why is are linux users like this?
>two versions of the same package installed at the same time
Okay just use an app image, moron?
>purity
A total non fricking problem

I haven't met any programmers worth shit that use Ubuntu.

No one cares about you, anonymous.

Terry an heroed, Aaron was killed by the gov't and Bram was ill.
>Aaron Swartz
Only on his servers. He used a MacBook for his work device.
James Gosling is an actor
actually laughed
people give up caring and want something that people don't ask them questions about
I used to use ubuntu as a desktop because my servers were also ubuntu but now that I build in the cloud, I've moved back to debian.
nobody uses those.
most kernel devs use fedora.
everyone else debian.
script kiddies use arch tho.
yea in companies they use Debian, but the Ubuntu flavor
I'm employed and we use this distro.
playing games isn't a job

Programming in NixOS is fricking annoying. I settled in OpenSUSE.
$ gcc -o foo foo.c
it's the same shit on nixos, unless you want to create a package for your program
Fedora silverblue my beloved
Thing I hate the most about Ubuntu is it's a Black person word
