Thank you, this is great! I love the focus on OSX support and on uninstalling. As a nix newbie, it can be difficult to resolve some issues and sometimes re-installing is the simplest option.
Is the end result of installing via the bash install script and this new installer the same? Can I use the new tool to uninstall nix installed via the bash script?
- grhmc 4y agoThanks! The end result is not quite the same. For example, we turn on flakes, nix-command, and make a couple other minor tweaks to the Nix configuration to make what we think are user-friendly improvements. For example: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/main/src/action/common/place_nix_configuration.rs#L29-L39 https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/mai... Our installer also supports some environments that the upstream installer has a harder time with. The new installer can't _yet_ uninstall a Nix installed from the upstream installer, but our upcoming work on "curing" will bring that.
- Laaas 4y agoI do wonder why auto-optimise-store isn't enabled by default. Is there a historical reason for it? Would Eelco accept a PR making it the default?
