So... you're essentially financing the next big ecosystem / vendor lock-in that will completely fuck and obliterate the fully open-source, free and not dependent on some-cloud-subscription-service operating system model we've going on today in Linux.
What the hell are you talking about? If you mean nixos' dependence on aws, there are alternatives to that like cachix and in the worst case, you could still setup some distributed caching network like ipfs or something torrent based. AWS was simply the easiest choice at the time.
I mean that NixOS and immutability trend is the next Docker/Kubernetes that will eventually lead to make people dependent on some cloud based repository or other similar solution controlled by a single entity.
Where do you think other distro's repos are?
I'm headed to the store to pick up some milk and the new Arch update thumb drive, need anything?
