This OS seems to have fixed all the things, based on what I constantly hear about it. Is Nix really all it’s cracked up to be?

I haven’t figured out an easy way to install a specific version of an app, which means that when an app update is broken I’m out of luck until a fix is released, so I’ll install the snap of the app until then (Spotify is a recent example). Don’t like that.

I think you can probably make the question a lot more interesting by asking them to implement max without using any branching syntax. I’m not saying that is necessarily a good interview question, but it is certainly more interesting. That might also be where some of the more esoteric answers are coming from.

As much as I prefer other distributions over it, I am grateful for everything that Ubuntu has done to grow the Linux userbase.
