Who said 1 distro, 1 kernel?! I fully believe NixOS/Nixpkgs should be able to support non-linux kernels, and the philosophies of their communities. We are always trying to bake in future assumptions, this is a great opportunity to do that.
Coalition without compromise. Truely.
- Ericson2314 7y agoIf someone is interested, please do reach out. I'm really serious about seeing this happen. We got cross compilation done distro wide, now we need more things to drive us forward.
- pdimitar 7y agoDo I get you correctly? You are looking for Nix[OS] being able to work with FreeBSD?
- Ericson2314 7y agoYes. Nix runs on FreeBSD so first step is cross compile pure stdenv with BSD libc. Next step is native builds and kernel. Final step is make NixOS work with multiple init systems. Shouldn't be too bad!
