Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
See https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat for prior art.
The key point of Tvix _not_ having support for Flakes is to not make special snowflake evaluator features that are tied in with it.

The ‘fileSystems’ option does not specify your root file system.
( let lock = builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile ./flake.lock); in fetchTarball { url = "https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/archive/${lock.nodes.flake-compat.locked.rev}.tar.gz"; sha256 = lock.nodes.flake-compat.locked.narHash; } ) { src = ./.; } ).defaultNix

How to add a patch to a package from flake-compat inside of Home Manager?
# .nix { config, pkgs, ... }: { imports = [ ]; home-manager = { useUserPackages = true; useGlobalPkgs = true; users.me = let flake-compat = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/archive/master.tar.gz"; hyprland = (import flake-compat { src = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/archive/master.tar.gz"; }).defaultNix; in { imports = [ hyprland.homeManagerModules.default ]; wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable = true; }; }; }

transg-tui: command line interface for Transmission BitTorrent client
yeah, I've added https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat so it should work without flakes.

how can I use a flake.nix in my configuration.nix (on a non-flake.nix nixos system)?
Sounds like you may want flake-compat.

Ask HN: How to Manage Phones and PCs for Elderly Parents?
You might want to set up NixOS with impermanence, with something like https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence. Install an easy to use desktop environment like ElementaryOS, and configure NixOS with or without Flatpak, if you want to give the user the ability to install new software or not. Then set up automatic updates, automatic garbage collection and you have a truly stable system.

Tvix – A New Implementation of Nix
I would not call these projects unbelievable, but they are neat.

Every NixOS rebuild creates a new Tailscale machine
That way will work - I use the impermanence module which works similarly but allows to hide mounts.

Silverblue users: why?
This is indeed a blind spot. Thanks for pointing that out! Silverblue -to my knowledge- doesn't do a lot to address this. Though, 3rd-party tools like Home Manager and the suite of applications developed by the folks over at uBlue might be able to limit this to a minimum. Though I'm not sure if it surpasses NixOS in this regard; for the uninitiated. Though, to my knowledge, this requires special attention and depends on the specifics of the NixOS system in question.

File system choice for Impermanence setup
I have recently stumbled upon Impermanence - modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage, and the concept seems quite nice.

Erase your darlings: Can this be applied to /home?
I haven't used it yet but nix-community/impermanence has a home-manager module that might be useful.

Interested in NixOS, have some questions
Some files in /etc (like saved networks) will still not be managed by NixOS, if you want to have full control over them use Impermanence
