The 5$ to 100$ increase is just inflation and increased productivity values. No one cares that wages didn’t follow that trend.

Also: for as long as there are enough people willing to pay the 100$, this will not change.

Simply because nix is a functional programing language, not just a data representation.

This is an example how to define plymouth with your own logo derivation. Isn’t this the most beautiful?

  boot = {
    plymouth = {
      enable = true;
      theme = "breeze";
      logo = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
        name = "out.png";
        dontUnpack = true;
        src = pkgs.fetchurl {
          url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
          sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
        };
        nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [imagemagick];
        buildPhase = ''
          magick -background none -size 200x200 $src nix-snowflake-rainbow.png
        '';
        installPhase = ''
          install -Dm0644 nix-snowflake-rainbow.png $out
        '';
      };
    };

How do you even compete with a snowflake made of lambdas? NixOS could be your final distro.

Or you could use nixpkgs. You can search if the package exists online or via cli.

He will get it next year, no worries. Or there will be a extraordinary award just for him in between.

Same experience here. Running 9 extensions without issues. On NixOS BTW.
