- jallmann 2y agoI use nixpkgs on MacOS, is nix-darwin is a different project? I love Nix but it probably has too many rough edges for the typical homebrew user.
- tymscar 2y agoIts a different complementary thing. It lets you define your macos settings the same way you would on nixos
- pxc 2y agoit's worth noting for Homebrew users that it also has a nice built-in module for managing a Homebrew installation by generating a Brewfile for you. So you can transition at your own pace, if you like
- firecall 2y agoI've never heard of it until now, but will check it out! :-)
- armadsen 2y agoI’m a full-time Mac and iOS developer, have been for almost 20 years, and this is the first I’ve heard of it. Might just be my bubble, but I don’t think it’s a huge thing yet. (I’m going to check it out now!)
- pyinstallwoes 2y agoI never even heard of nix-Darwin. Interesting.
