But nix exists
I’m sure nix is great once you learn it. Most people will not, if this can be simpler and somewhat robust it absolutely has a use axe.
There is also devbox which abstracts away all the nixiness of Nix. Having alternatives is always good though.
This is simpler because it uses YAML for packaging software instead of its own language like Nix.
Also it has a lot of features and what I consider one of the main features is it’s dependencies, you can specify a dependency from a selection from +30 package managers instead of recreating the packages for Zoi.
For more info please refer to the docs
That’s pretty sick. I may check it out at some point.
It’s written in Rust so you know it’s fast, I’m working on a build system and some other features, if you wanna check them out they’re in ROADMAP.md in the GitHub repo.
The roadmap is for v5 beta, if you have any suggestions or feature requests tell me, most of the features in the roadmap are requested or suggested by the Reddit post.
Also it somewhat inspired by pacman.
home manager is as easy as pie. You don’t have to use the OS to use nix, the package manager. It’s a little bit unfortunate that everything is called nix
What does it do that hermit cant?
