Arch vs NixOS

• Home Manager using Nix

  182 5,821 9.8 Nix

  Manage a user environment using Nix [maintainer=@rycee]

  

I would probably try Arch, but try nix with https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager to manage your dot files. Home-manager is essentially nix-lite, it's NixOS for a user.

• nixpkgs

  969 15,581 10.0 Nix

  Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  

Microsoft fonts are part of the corefonts package.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• NUR

  24 1,138 9.1 Python

  Nix User Repository: User contributed nix packages [maintainer=@Mic92]

  

That's another difference between Arch and Nix. With nix, you can freely extend the package with your personal, work, hobby, or someone else's packages. Technically, the analogous of AUR would be the NUR, although, it's much less used than AUR. However, there's not as much need to use a user repository, when the official one has some 68k packages in it, compared to Arch's 10k.
