They stopped using Nix due to disagreements with how the project was run.

From what I gather you fear determinate systems will guide future Nixos dev like google steers chromium or am I way off base?

Nix doesn't help when the issue is a compiler bug, sadly.

Weird article. The author is clearly heart-broken about some changes in how Nixos is managed - but what those changes were and why the author dislikes them is left completely unclear. The link to the Determinate blogpost doesn't clarify anything. I guess it might make sense to Nixos insiders...
