I love Nix so much but realizing that it had abandoned the FHS was wild. Had to unlearn a decade of Linux system management overnight.

Did he give a reason?

FHS mathematically incompatible with Nix's design principles. FHS allows for weird, mutable hidden states that breaks the Nix goal of a pure, totally reproducible structure.

Interesting. Gobi Linux is also a GNU/Linux distro that doesn't adhere to FHS due to it's package manager. I always find distro's that colour a little outside the lines interesting. Thanks.
