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!

    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?

        Interesting!

        So, I guess that at least one of the following ‘transitions’ is ‘blameworthy’:

        • Silverblue -> uBlue Silverblue
        • uBlue Silverblue -> Bluefin-DX
        • Bluefin-DX -> secureblue

        I guess I’ll pass out on it for now. Thank you though!
