NixOS RFC 136 approved: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
Ive always loved the idea of nix, but feel like I&#x27;ve read numerous, if not horror, at least uncomfortable stories about the actual real-world experience after the initial &quot;setup yak shaving&quot; is done - which is often exciting for &quot;us&quot;, it&#x27;s the new project problem solving part before it falls into the boring &quot;work&quot; part.<p>If I have an arch system now, how useful is it to use Nix or Homemanager on a non-nixos <i>linux</i> system? I dont really want to dump a working system and duel booting always has whatever you need on the other system.<p>Do you <i>get</i> anything when not using NixOS to manage <i>everything</i>? What good is it if half my system is installed by pacman, half by asdf-per-project and the rest by nix? Has anyone gone down this route? What is the actual lived experience of half-assing it?
