Mitchell: Today we launched Flox 1.0

Description:
Zach Mitchell has announced the 1.0 release of Flox , a tool that lets its 
users install packages from nixpkgs inside portable virtual environments, and 
share those virtual environments with others as an alternative to 
Docker-style containers. Flox is based on Nix but allows users to skip 
learning how to work with the Nix language: With Flox we're providing a 
substantially better user experience. We provide the suite of package manager 
functionality with install , uninstall , etc, but we also provide an entire 
new suite of functionality with the ability to share environments via flox 
push , flox pull , and flox activate --remote . Flox is GPLv2-licensed, and 
releases are available as RPMs and Debian packages for x86_64 and arm64 
systems.
