  • dotfiles

  • I'm using Nix for Pycharm, the only userspace configuration I had to setup is just setting some variables in my .profile and I took it from the Nix manual, I believe. It should be pretty painless after that.

  • nixops

    NixOps is a tool for deploying to NixOS machines in a network or cloud.

  • I'll have to read more about NixOps though, I had kind of forgotten that it existed!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • darling

    Darwin/macOS emulation layer for Linux

  • Now that I think about it, is Anbox and Darling supported on Guix? I have no idea if it is on NixOS, but some of my more torturous plans involve linking together a few folders and applications between devices using something like Syncthing, and well, Darling is just pretty cool I think.

  • nonguix

  • If some version of package is missing you can use channels ( like nonguix ) to host your own package definition, but you'll have to build that package on your machine.
