Some notes on nix flakes

Some notes on nix flakes

Julia Evans

a few people in the replies are asking why someone might want to use nix as an OS / to manage your python packages / to manage your config files.

does anyone want to share their reasons for doing those things? I don't really know.

(please give examples of some specific problems Nix solves for you and what you like about it, don't just say "it's reproducible/declarative” :) )

@b0rk I think, they‘re calling for you, @zagy 😉
