You know, immutable enterprise systems.

I installed HeliumOS (Almalinux bootc) on a corebooted Chromebook. Works really well, but audio needs to be configured.

The script needs a recent python which is not available there.

Go and rust can be installed for a user only. Is there something similar for python?

    Source on the second statement? My understanding was that nix-shell is legacy for systems without flakes and nix-command enabled, and are being replaced by nix shell/run/develop

        Interesting, didn’t know the history of the command. But that post confirms my understanding, that nix shell/develop are the new replacements for nix-shell, with nix shell for temporary package installs and nix develop for debugging and developing

          As far as I understand, they’re not replacements in the same way nix profile replaces nix-env. They seem to serve a different purpose, but I don’t know enough to say for certain.

            of course they’re not a drop-in replacement, as the cli is getting a major redesign, but as per your source

            nix shell and nix develop are still experimental, so nix-shell is sticking around despite doing the same thing

            it seems like they are made to fulfill the same purpose
