Lua error in Module:DistributionInfobox at line 21: data must be either of type string or number.
NixOS is a Linux distribution built around the Nix package manager, which provides atomic upgrades, rollbacks, and a declarative configuration model[1]. It was originally founded by Eelco Dolstra[2].
Home Manager
Home Manager is a NixOS module made to configure your user's /home, Home Manager can be installed in different ways but a common approach is using the NixOS module, as that rebuilds Home Manager along with NixOS. Home Manager also provides a wide variety of options, which can be utilized to manage files, install and configure applications among other utilization options.
Lix
Lix is a community fork of Nix. It uses the meson build system, though the Lix team also plans to gradually introduce Rust to the source code.</nowiki>[3] There are also plans to improve the Nix language and make it into the Lix language, which is different but still generally syntactically compatible with the Nix language[3].
Trivia
- NixOS uses a purely functional package management approach, ensuring that package installations do not interfere with one another.
- The Nix package manager allows for reproducible builds, making it ideal for development environments.
