Today, I wanted to have another go with nix. Previously I just read about it and didn’t do anything for a couple of months. Now, I installed nix package manager with very few lines of code and two more to install many packages as described in his post. Installation was very fast on my banana laptop. Until now I used distrobox but I always wondered which distro/ package manager to use. What’s your experience with it?
For now, I’ll test it. It’s super easy to use. It may not be straight forward to a linux newcomer but if you know what you want, e.g. ffmpeg you can just add it with home-manager edit
and install it with home-manager switch
. So far, I love it!
I’d like to know if it works for you now. I only ran the commands from the post and everything worked ootb
That’s probably why I gave up on it back then as well
Aight. Let’s give it a go:
Terminal interaction
Well…, for some reason it didn’t work. FWIW, I’m on the bluefin-dx-main-userns-hardened image as provided by secureblue.
Line 49
Yeah I noticed that line as well. But, I’m a bit pessimistic that it will not be solved. Btw, what’s the image you’re on?
Boring silverblue 40
Interesting!
So, I guess that at least one of the following ‘transitions’ is ‘blameworthy’:
I guess I’ll pass out on it for now. Thank you though!
