The common joke/fact in the nix community is the nix "triad": nix the language, nix the operating system, and nix the package manager. Sometimes it gets confusing, but usually context is enough.
Except that Nix ≠ NixOS, which it seemed was very clear to everyone for a very long time.
Recently some Linux hobbyists new to the Nix community have started using the word 'Nix' to refer to NixOS, which is wrong and has understandably led to quite some confusion. I wish they'd stop fucking it up.
