Flake-registry Alternatives

flake-registry reviews and mentions

• nix in flakes mode but without downloading nixpkgs all the time?
  1 project | /r/NixOS | 17 Jan 2022

  This happens because the default registry hosted at https://github.com/NixOS/flake-registry/ is unpinned (for good reason).

• Why is Nixpkgs suddenly building everything from source?

• Why aren't systems like NixOS and GNU Guix more popular?
  2 projects | /r/NixOS | 10 Nov 2021

  Nix just seems to have a lot of issues with centralized decision making and planning, which results in some fairly insane decisions and a general lack of any direction in the entire project. As one odd example, Dolstra's personal/work projects are in the very small list of flakes in the global registry, which is just not ok.
