  • Glad you asked! To start, the module system is really powerful, especially coupled with the flexibility of the nix language itself. It takes work to wrap your brain around everything but once you do it becomes such a cool ecosystem. If Arch is like using Lego blocks to configure your system, NixOS is like using a 3D printer. You have to learn about the store, function libraries, etc. It can be complicated and messy. But you can do some pretty cool things with it!















  • Grave of the Fireflies was actually directed by the cofounder Isao Takahata who generally played more of a producer role but did this and The Tale of Princess Kaguya, which are much more subdued compared to Miyazaki’s works, but no less emotional. He was also the artistic producer on The Red Turtle, a co-production between Ghibli and a few French studios, which I would highly recommend watching. Very quiet. Very beautiful.
