Yes, .org certainly feels more fitting than .com for this.


We do have various parts of the project on the site, though perhaps with
little discoverability.  Note however that the state of the packages is
currently significantly better on NixOS than anywhere else (including
darwin).  For example, anything using libGL might need nontrivial setup
actions on other Linuxes, and nowadays libGL is even used by basic
libs/toolkits (e.g. cairo).

Yes, it would be nice to have an overview of all the nixy projects,
explaining their basic shape and relationships, and put it on a
well-visible place on nixos.org
