Is there a reason why the following is not an officially recommended way of installing lix?

nixpkgs.overlays = [(final: prev: {
  nix = pkgs.lixPackageSets.stable.lix;
})];

I did this to force disko to use lix and I haven’t run into any broken tooling so far. It sees like a dumb fix that actually works pretty well

@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]there is certain software that breaks with that because it links into e.g. libnixstore03:49:00
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae] * 03:49:33
@whispers:catgirl.cloudwhispers [& it/fae]but that is something you can do and to my understanding that is what the nixos-module does (https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nixos-module/src/branch/main/overlay.nix) (though that module is only intended for lix-on-main users)03:50:49

@flippette:matrix.orgflippette hi all, home-manager recently switch to using nix profile add instead of nix profile install, is Lix going to support this soon, or is there a way to work around it for now? 13:51:07
