    NixOS options. They document themselves!

    Didn’t read past that as you clearly don’t understand what the differences between documentation, a tutorial and code comments are.

      Do read past that and you might understand why NixOS options are a type of documentation. They’re not “code comments”.

        I have tried NixOS, the documentation in many options is subpar. Only the most interesting packages get good documentation. I’ll give NixOS a few more years until I try it again, but currently it’s rather a hobbyist and ‘tinkerer’ distribution. Which is fine, but I don’t want to learn domain specific stuff which is different from all of the rest of Linux.
