Vanilla OS supports installing Nix packages |
|
One of the core features of Vanilla OS is the Apx package manager, a utility which can install software from multiple distributions, such as Arch Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu. The developers have added support another source of packages: the advanced Nix package manager. "Nix has now integrated with Apx using a flag, which allows users to install software from Nix repositories. Unlike other supported distributions in Apx, Nix does not use containers and has it’s own --nix flag similar to the usual Apx flags. Packages installed using the Nix flag in Apx are located in the home directory, keeping the root clean and free from changes. This implementation requires a dedicated implementation of package management methods incompatible with the existing framework." Additional details can be found in the project's announcement. |
