One of the great pleasures of #NixOS is that you can just… run any software, without having to install it.

Just like in Arch Linux (which I used before), software I read about online is generally already available through nixpkgs-unstable, but contrary to Arch Linux, I don’t have to upgrade my system before I can try out software :)

(This happened to me regularly and it’s just not supported in Arch. You have to update. A simple model, but not good enough for how I use computers.)

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mas.to/users/zekjur/statuses/116228538851082510 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
