 QuadRadical (Ping) | let me check | 16:28:10 |
 Display Name | * | 16:28:40 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | I think they want a guide on how to usenix | 16:28:53 |
| Display Name | I remember from iirc determinate systems had a guide | 16:28:55 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | * I think they want a guide on how to use nix | 16:28:56 |
 K900 | Do you mean zero-to-nix? | 16:29:08 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | yeah, it does, you can sudo apk add nix | 16:29:06 |
| K900 | It's mostly decent but also does some things I don't agree with | 16:29:21 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | so you can apk add nix | 16:29:09 |
| K900 | But mostly decent | 16:29:23 |
| Display Name | I think | 16:29:29 |
| Display Name | What guide do you prefer? | 16:29:41 |
| K900 | Honestly, I don't think any of the existing guides are great | 16:29:58 |
| K900 | Most of them are OK | 16:30:04 |
| K900 | None of them are very good | 16:30:11 |
| Display Name | Okay, so then I learn nix or lix? | 16:30:23 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | They are very similar | 16:30:38 |
| K900 | https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/ is another resource that is commonly recommended | 16:30:50 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | if you learn one, you will know the other | 16:30:42 |
| K900 | That is also decent | 16:30:53 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | lix also uses nix the language | 16:30:47 |
| K900 | You learn Nix, and you can use Lix as your Nix implementation | 16:31:06 |
| Display Name | Thanks | 16:31:09 |
| K900 | It is mostly a drop-in replacement | 16:31:21 |
| K900 | (though this one is mostly focused on NixOS, not Nix on other systems) | 16:31:32 |

And I don't think we have prebuilt musl binaries? I wonder if it would make sense to offer the installer as statically linked with musl binaries? Then it'll work regardless of the host libc. | 16:54:29 |
| K900 | Maybe? | 16:55:24 |
| K900 | Not sure if it'll explode | 16:55:26 |
| aloisw | It's Rust, that usually works relatively nicely with musl? | 17:42:59 |
