What will it achieve to reveal them? Other users will notice too, it’s not like I’m the only one whose said this. Who cares if I convince you. Nix isn’t a power tool. It is a highly opinionated language that gimps the most basic package management tasks… It is basically a senseless markup language that requires package authors to resort to running unvetted shell scripts on users computers.

Lol… pet package? You act like these packages I’m referring to are ones that no one is using. These are highly popular packages where winget is getting updates way before Nix. Flathub is doing a better job at keeping packages updated in some instances. Something must be broken with the tool you mention if you think it is keeping packages updated.
Well there is this thing called DevOps where you scan repos and have packages get built and pushed automatically… not sure if you’ve ever heard of it. I think it is called CI/CD. /s
I can give you a list of software that is not being kept up to date on Nix Stable that is pretty popular. At first glance it does look impressive but does not translate into my real world experience.
Arch Linux does a better job mostly… although Nix does have more packages. Alpine Linux actually seems to do better than most in keeping packages updated.
Debian died a long time ago. It has its loyal users no doubt, but is a low bar to set.
Seems like Nix is going the way of the dinosaur. Most packages are now multiple versions behind. No one seems to be maintaining the packages anymore.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Maybe you should spend less time attacking people and more time learning how to build a website.
