@martijnbraam why not replace flatpak with nix? :)

@j0 you don't have to replace anything. As long as you don't write software that is hardcoded to one platform it can be packaged anywhere :)

I gladly take bug reports from Nix users, they have made several of my codebases a lot better

@martijnbraam i mean why cant nix replace flatpak as the cross-distro packaging standard :) it has a great community already packaging most software and nix could be a part of a lot of distro's immutability (silverblue, vanillaos, whatever ubuntus doing, etc)
