  • I’d love having a file that lists all software like in nix. It has always been a miracle to me why I don’t have a history of installed packages. Before I moved to atomic fedora, I created a shell script that was like “sudo apt install openssh \ yt-dlp \ firefox”. With this I would’ve known what I had installed previously. Since packages are built on top of the system image on atomic distros, they have to keep track now and I don’t have to do it anymore.

    To me, nix is still young in the sense that it is not as mature and user friendly as other distros. There are still “3 major different” ways to use nix. (I actually have no idea how many ways but it seems like you can do everything). It needs to be very simple.

    I actually use home manager on my device and the package landscape is still not as reliable as on fedora, in my experience.
