Venezuelan friend of mine with family who recently managed to flee to the USA:
Yesterday Maduro was talking about it... Already since 4 years people are capable of normally buying food, but everything is imported. Food is not affordable at whatsoever and buying groceries is much more expensive than in richer countries like Germany or USA. With regards of seeing the comments [of this post], they are wrong. Food was already scarce even years before the sanctions.
Just checked and the sanctions started in 2017, while the [food] scarcity was already evident since 2011.

is only slowly being deloped since it only has 2 true core devs, despite having many contributors. That being said it's already functional. It just doesn't have all the features implemented yet. If you're interested in using the project, and have rust knowledge consider contributing or supporting the project!
Yeah, it really isn't for everyone. The advantagees it provides is mostly for developers and companies. If you're a company, managing a NixOS fork is useful, so all users of the system are on the same page always.
Otherwise the package manager itself can be used on its own. It's neat being able to use packages from basically any distro without even needing to use a VM.
Nix is daunting indeed, but cool for those who want such tooling
