Always nice to see Helix :)

Yeah actually is there a way to NOT have nano on the system? I’d really like to remove it…

I was able to go zero to Nix in probably 6-10 hours, and could’ve done it sooner if I’d known about this sooner (and I’m not a super technical person).

FreeBSD has rollbacks like Nix?

Grass. He’s outside. He’s escaped the computer.

Switching to Nix could certainly simplify a lot of things. I wouldn't be surprised if they went that direction soon.

I like the idea of the fedora immutable distros, but the reliance on flatpak makes me a bit nervous (guess I’m just old-fashioned)… I think some kind of solution that puts a stable system like Debian or immutable fedora with a package manager like Nix might be very good (I know the U-Blue guys have been playing with homebrew?)

gramgan ,

Actually, I just tried both homebrew and Nix with a Debian 12 installation and I’m not impressed. Homebrew only ships CLI apps, and GUI applications installed with Nix famously don’t show up in application launchers… it seems like you don’t really get the features of Nix unless you use NixOS.

Statement: It is highly unlikely that a meatbag such as OP will be able to master the intricacies of NixOS.
