@aires What I really want is #NixOnDroid compiled with the #Emacs signing key so I can use #NixPackageManager to install the dependencies for #OrgRoam for use with the Android version of GUI Emacs 😋

See: the README at Android ports for GNU Emacs https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/files/termux/

Sorry... I did that thing where I figure out the answer almost right after I post the question. It seems that vim 8.2 on Rocky Linux 9.4 is behaving differently than vim 9.1 on #NixOS. The solution I found was just to use the #NixPackageManager on Rocky Linux to install #NeoVim, which doesn't do this. So subsequent edits start at the top of the page with nothing highlighted.

#Nix

@kevinbowen @2 with really old distributions, one can still install the latest, and greatest, version of #KeePassXC using the #NixPackageManager, even when required dependencies or versions are unavailable in the base OS. #Nix can do this because it brings it's own dependency tree. Nix can do a bunch of interesting things that most other Peake managers can't.

One quirk is that the browser extension, may not be able to connect unless the browser was also installed with #Nix.

Multiplexer: still figuring out: only recently realised they're useful.

Shell: bash (sometimes zsh, never got around to finding out the difference)
Language: #haskell, #rust, #rubylang, #cpp, whatever else tickles my fancy.
Containers: none (most recently docker)
Command runner: don't you mean shell?
Terminal emulator: the default ones from #CinnamonDesktop and #haikuOS

🚀 Excited to announce the release of my second article on the Nix Package Manager in c't 27/2023! This time, we delve deeper into managing and building software packages with Nix.

As we continue our journey through the innovative world of Nix, I uncover more advanced techniques and share practical tips. The article is now available online, albeit behind a paywall, but well worth the read for those interested in next-level package management.

A heartfelt thank you to the Heise c't team for their continued support and collaboration. Check out the article here: https://www.heise.de/ratgeber/Paketmanager-Nix-ausprobiert-Teil-2-Softwarepakete-managen-und-bauen-9344701.html

Excited to hear your thoughts and engage in discussions about this innovative tech!

Paketmanager Nix ausprobiert, Teil 2: Softwarepakete managen und bauen

In dieser Einführung in den Paketmanager Nix für Entwickler bohren wir das Beispielprojekt auf und zeigen, was möglich ist.

I'm contemplating blowing away a perfectly functional openSuse #tumbleweed install; installing #leap to the command line; and then building my system with the #nixPackageManager.

Anybody wanna talk me out of it?
