Add Gentoo Prefix vs Nix comparison in documentation #51

Open vanzod opened 4 years ago

vanzod commented 4 years ago

Currently there is no documentation on why the project has chosen Gentoo Prefix over Nix. This would be useful information to retain.

A few notes on the topic from a Slack conversation with Bart Oldeman at Compute Canada:

@bartoldeman Anything you have to add here?

bartoldeman commented 4 years ago

Looks ok but could elaborate a bit more, by adding a reference to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/44144 and for "the linker" you can be more specific and say "the dynamic linker/loader $EPREFIX/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2"

@bartoldeman, thanks for the feedback. I have updated my comment.
