  • nixbsd

    An unofficial NixOS fork with a FreeBSD kernel

    > With that being said, I’d love it if a NixOS like variant came to a BSD.

    My NixOS Configurations (by lorenzogood)

  • devenv

    Fast, Declarative, Reproducible, and Composable Developer Environments

    I'm of the mindset that NixOS is too much, all at once. I understand the power of the Nix ecosystem, but the barrier of entry remains too high to enter.

    I've switched to using devenv[1] as a first step. This at least allows me to experiment with using nix to configure my dev environment in a per directory fashion, while allowing me to use the Linux distro of my choice.
