I've been wanting to give Nix a try for a long time. However, I run Fedora and as far as I've seen Nix is pretty incompatible with SELinux. I'm not really ready to take the plunge and move to NixOS so I've just kind of been holding out.

Thanks for calling that out. Our installer (and the upstream installer) don't support SELinux yet, but there is work in that direction. Here's our tracking issue: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/124 https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/1... and there is an upstream Nix issue, too: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7850 https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7850.

If you install it from the community RPM installer, it works as they have SELinux support added: https://github.com/nix-community/nix-installers https://github.com/nix-community/nix-installers

Is there anything specific that comes up? I'm running it on Fedora and haven't run into any issues yet.

  I've had some trouble getting bitwig running properly, and some graphics quirks with i3wm. Still happy with my setup overall though.

    What problems did you have with Bitwig and what was the fix?
