I installed nixos on a vm to try it out and I'm not liking it so far.

kek yeah it was a pain when i used it to, the whole concept is just a bad solution to a problem that doesn't exist

>a problem that doesn't exist
Package managers, Makefiles, Flatpak, Silverblue, Ansible, Docker, etc. all solve a problem that doesn't exist? That's a lot of time and money down the drain for "nothing".
>a bad solution
It's the best solution.

You're making a fatal mistake because you're so used to shitty methods of installing software. You're trying to get Node. Why? Because it's a dependency of your project. If so, why are you trying to make it a dependency of your OS? It fundamentally doesn't belong there. Use a nix-shell. This binds your project's dependencies to the project itself. The added benefit of this is that contributors to your project don't need to set up their OS to mirror yours. They simply enter the nix-shell.

>You're trying to get Node. Why?
Not him but I use node to run scripts, not just bound to projects.
Are you implying I should install a separate node for every node project I have too?

the problem no longer exists because it's been solved by:

>It's the best solution.
it's pretty crap

It was a dependency for the pop shell
