Everything to install with Nix must be packaged "the Nix way", I assume? How is the breadth and quality of Nix packages? Just for fun I checked the kiwi image builder, from the openSUSE project, which I recently had some versioning problems with, and it was not there.
- cwp 5y agoNixpkgs is quite good. It has the package I'm looking for most of the time. According to Repology[1], it's got more packaged projects than any other package repository, and more packages that are up to date than any other repository. It's also pretty on top of CVEs, with only 0.38% of packages having potential vulnerabilities.
