nix, lix
It sure is remarkable how people are claiming "Lix doesn't seem to have done anything yet except rebrand Nix", when there's literally patches submitted to Nix that originate from Lix development... like, have you actually looked at anything at all or are you just looking for excuses to dismiss the fork?

@necrophcodr If those users insist on opining about the legitimacy of the fork, then yes, I do actually expect that bare minimum of effort

@joepie91 looking at their website, they do indeed not seem to indicate that they've done anything except rebranding a fork. perhaps if they wished for that to be different, they could project their involvements/changes more outward to a community that does not consist solely of software developers.
I would never expect a large group of non-developers to determine otherwise if they're not given any information on it. Expecting them to become developers might not work.

@necrophcodr It is not the job of the project to prove to random dudebros on Hacker News that there is work happening; the responsibility to figure this out lies on the part of the party who insists on opining about someone or something else's legitimacy, and if they do not wish to do that work, then they can simply... not opine, instead of making baseless claims based on gut feelings

re: nix, lix
@joepie91 i think lots of folks just hate the vaguely lesbian-colored project assets
nix, lix
@joepie91 the people who say that are not the target group *at best*

@joepie91 are you asking that normal users reading the website should know how to also read the commit history of both projects and understand it fully?
