[$] Nix alternatives and spinoffs

Date:
Thu, 11 Jul 2024 16:21:12 +0000

Description:
Since the disagreements that led to Eelco Dolstra stepping down from the NixOS
Foundation board , there have been a number of projects forked from or 
inspired
by Nix that have stepped up to compete with it. Two months on, some of these
projects are now well-established enough to look at what they have to offer 
and
how they compare to each other. Overall, users have a number of good options 
to
choose from, whether they're seeking a compatible replacement for Nix (the
configuration language and package manager) or NixOS (the Linux distribution),
or something that takes the same ideas in a different direction.
