A leadership crisis in the Nix community

>>elikog+(OP)
There are too many stakeholders, it’s too forkable (guix, flox, Anduril).

Maybe the official leadership has a shuffle, maybe it’s even big.

I’m not changing my Nix investment, I discourage others from changing theirs.

What does guix have to do with Nix (genuine question, not snarky)?

>>slekke+L6
It's a bit hidden in their about page:

    GNU Guix provides state-of-the-art package management features such as transactional upgrades and roll-backs, reproducible build environments, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles. It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language—which makes it nicely hackable.

If I understand correctly, they're saying that the low level stuff works the way it works in Nix, not that they use Nix for that.

I am aware Guix did fork Nix but from what I've read, there's almost nothing left in Guix that still uses the initial Nix code?
