#nixos Umm how would a fork work - isn´t the whole point to have a massive package database and all that work goes to making it fab and complete and one thing? A fork of the packages database / sources would cause chaos, right? Is it not a particularly un-forkable OS ? Or can one fork the OS and share the package database as it is public... as you can see I am worried ... probably down to my ignorance.
