No, it’s the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

    I think your “proper graphical configurator” is doing some heavy lifting there. Of course, there’s no such thing right now, so you’re dealing with the coding yourself in a pretty oddly designed syntactical language, and the terrible official documentation that is the current state of affairs to do it with.

    Other than that, sure, a declaritive and atomic OS would be the way to go.

        I thought you meant for a declarative OS like Nix. Which does not have a GUI configurator, nor does any comparable declarative OS. Isn’t that what we’ve been talking about this entire thread?
