Mac Nix
Brief, incomplete notes from trying Nix on macOS in 2023, covering builds, shell configuration, updates and an unresolved rollback problem.
No idea what’s getting updated
Build takes ages
Stuggling to get an editor that can edit .nix
Nixpkgs doesn’t have Maccy and other tools I need, so homebrew is still there
Keyboard sensitivity hack is almost worth the trouble alone
/etc/shells makes it obscenely difficult to choose the bash shell over zsh
I needed to rollback, but couldn’t figure out how to - dx
