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” :) )

Conda is a bit easier to manage in linux over the windows filesystem. Also if you are using windows, you have to code python for specicif compatibility with the windows file path syntax, and if your scripts are destined for linux servers, that is an unreasonable addition
