You can use an alternate path with Nix. When you choose to do that, you will have to build all packages from source instead of installing prebuilt binaries.

- sneak 6y agoThat makes sense, and is good news. I withdraw my complaint against Nix; in my defense my ignorance was based on the thread on their GitHub about how Catalina makes Nix basically unusable. Turns out those people were both a) wrong and b) speaking authoritatively from ignorance. :/ I’m quite glad I can just install it somewhere else, and finally ditch the Homebrew spyware. Thank you for letting me know!
