Debian stable is an incredibly low bar in terms of new packages. I’m on NixOS, too, if that matters, and I don’t have a strong opinion on how fresh packages are, although I do find it far from ideal in other areas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh yeah I 100% agree, and IMO the lowness of that bar just strengthens my point. Even in the state that it’s in, nobody would suggest that Debian or Ubuntu was dying (except this guy, I guess, since he did so above) - so saying that Nix, which is so much more up-to-date, is dying is laughable.
I really like the graph posted a little further up in the thread, actually, I didn’t realise that the difference was that massive!
