Well I'm still going to tell you that gnome is bad software both from the user experience and their unwillingness to implement basic features, and that you should be using helix.

I also don't like systemd but nixos happens to use it and I usually don't have to deal with it so meh.

Look at the BSDs, they care about technical issues.

I do, too. But only when I'm working on it. Otherwise, as long as stuff just works, I'm perfectly happy to keep the bonnet closed. That was quite different in my early days, I actually daily-drove linux from scratch in the early 00s, but at some point you either decide to become an OS developer, or you lose interest.

Side note there's actually a project brining the glory of nix to the BSDs.

I should?

I use what I want. (understand that you are advertising software here.)

(See what technical issue I've written. See the pdf slides above.)

advertising. Don't care.

advertising. Don’t care.

It's very much a technical issue. Skimming your pdf it even talks about package building and delivery. Nixos is so good at that that I gladly put up with systemd is what I'm saying, depending on what you care about more it might even make you tolerate linux.

advertising again.

The talks shows the attitude of BSD communities to each others.

Which most linux communities doesn't have yet.
