pellets: manage your packages with a configuration file
Fair enough. I've also had a couple of programs which weren't packaged already, fortunately it's quite easy to do so most of the time (or to just fall back to a distrobox container or flatpak in the worst case). If you decide to try it out, nix-1p and Nix Pills were great resources for me to get familiar with Nix and NixOS in a short time-span.

Why the Windows Registry sucks technically (2010)
Wouldn't say there's a steep learning curve for the language itself, it's pretty easy to get a grasp around it imo. Here's a helpful page I used to quickly get familiar with the language: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p
What's rather messy about Nix is nixpkgs with its helper functions all over the place alongside pretty shallow / non-existent documentation (which is unrelated to the language). Thankfully they've started to work on that recently: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/documentation-team-flattening-...

Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
I wrote a language tutorial for only the language a while back, and have gotten the feedback that it has helped a lot of people - maybe it'd clear something up for you: https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p

Error signing TrichromeChrome.apk when building OTA package
commit 660b23fb152874b6d237065045c78ceeb6ebdbf9 Author: Chirayu Desai Date: Fri Jun 24 01:41:28 2022 +0530 releasetools: Replace Trichrome fingerprint * Trichrome APKs depend on TrichromeLibrary, and they specify both package name and a certificate digest * We sign TrichromeLibrary and both dependent APKs with the same key, so we can simply make sure that the fingerprint matches the key the APK is being (re)signed with Based on: https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix/blob/master/modules/apps/chromium-trichrome-patcher.py Change-Id: I79f8c69787decd5abbb5d5513dee9bc357eb8814

Nixery – Docker images on the fly with Nix
Just noting, using Nix it is possible to build an actual real deal Android image using Robotnix:

This is different from a non-Android Linux on Mobile devices, which is what Mobile NixOS aims to achieve :).

Add Android Auto to Calyx OS before flashing ROM
There are some tools already which support automated builds such as https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack and https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix - however they'll need work to support both CalyxOS and also Android Auto.

CalyxOS – De-Googled Android Alternative
CalyxOS is an awesome project. I have worked with the lead developer a bit over the past few years and it's been such a pleasure. We share some bits of code between our projects here: https://github.com/AOSPAlliance.
If anyone is interested in building their own custom android OS in the cloud (AWS) with same ability to lock your bootloader like CalyxOS, you can checkout my project I've been maintaining for a few years now called RattlesnakeOS: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack.
And if you prefer to not build in the cloud, there is also a really great project called robotnix (https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix) which provides a way to build many flavors of OS (AOSP, GrapheneOS, LineageOS, etc).

Nix is the ultimate DevOps toolkit
A few days ago, I came across RobotNix[0] which uses Nix to deterministically build custom Android images. Since I really want to adapt Android to my needs but have always struggled with building Android on my own (what a shitty and complicated build system), I'm now very inclined to learn Nix. I'm not sure I like the syntax but hopefully I'll get used to it.
Another reason I'm quite excited about Nix is that in my team we're currently using a whole bunch of tools like pip, Conda, npm all at the same time to manage our dependencies and it's starting to become really cumbersome to set up the dev and production environments correctly across operating systems and platforms. For instance, Conda doesn't exist on arm64, lots of pip packages have to be compiled by hand on arm64 etc. etc. It's a mess that I'd love to get rid of.
