Leaving the Nix/NixOS community

Hi there! The problem with politics is that it still affects you in life. Here’s some of my examples with nixpkgs repository specifically:

  1. I was trying to download PolyMC (a fork of MultiMC), but it was removed from packages and rejected ever since for dubious reasons.
  2. Then I wanted to check out alternative X11 server implementations, but apparently it’s forbidden to talk about it, as issues and discussions are flagged.
  3. Maintainers of several packages either left due to drama or were banned.

Anyway, let’s turn this topic into something more productive: Is there any alternative to the NixOS ecosystem besides Determinate Systems one?
