[$] A look at Nix and Guix

Date:
Tue, 27 Feb 2024 21:24:24 +0000

Description:
Nix and Guix are a pair of unusual package managers
based on the idea of declarative configurations. Their associated Linux
distributions  NixOS and the Guix System  take the idea further by allowing 
users
to define a single centralized configuration describing the state of the 
entire
system. Both have
been previously mentioned on LWN, but not covered extensively. They offer 
different takes on
the central idea of treating packages like immutable values.
