Ok, is there a list with what "everyone knows" is currently shit in #nixos?
Since I got started I've now been informed about:
* discoverability is shit
* the onboarding experience is shit (and "it's not a secret" and everyone is aware of that)
* the documentation is shit
* the default configuration.nix that NixOS provides is "not that great"
* the "nix search" cli command is shit and one is supposed to use search.nixos.org instead
* wiki doesn't reflect examples used other where
