This looks like an amazing project, except, if I'm not running of your preferred distros, the size seems a bit excessive:
$ tar xf nyxt-*.tar.xz -C nyxt
$ du -chs nyxt
1.7G nyxt
- Ambrevar 6y agoNote this is the "fully contained Guix pack" (a bit like a container) which contains all the recursive dependencies, which includes WebKitGTK, GTK and the like. Nyxt alone is about 100-150 MiB uncompressed, which is what it costs you if you install it via your package manager.
- nulbyte 6y agoI did not see mention of this on the download page, so I was taken aback. It does seems the Ubuntu package works in Debian, but that wasn't clear on the website, either.
- Ambrevar 6y agoWhat mention did you not see? Is there anything I can clarify? Please let me know, feedback is always welcome. About the .deb: Indeed, it's built on Ubuntu, so it's not guaranteed to work on Debian, which is why we didn't mention it.
