How do you make /nix read write like /home /var on microos
On silverblue, you just follow this guide and it uses a systemd service that uses the command chattr to make / immutable (temporary) but not the reclusive directories (that means only / not the contents inside the directories) by doing chattr -i / creates /nix and /var/lib/nix mkdir /nix mkdir /var/lib/nix then it bind mounts it mount --bind /var/lib/nix /nix then it uses chattr again to make / immutable again chattr +i / . The problem with microos is that the chattr command can't change atributes on the / directory. But is there like a way to have a /nix subvolume like how there is writable /var and /home subvolumes? Like how can you make it not part of the immutable part. you can go into the transactional update shell and type mkdir /nix and /nix is there but is not writable. Is there a way to make a subvolume and mount it as /nix and have it readable and writable?

How has your experience with Silverblue/Kinoite been?
agreed with that I only install drivers, distrobox, and qemu/virt manager on the immutable part and everything else is done with either flatpak, containers, or nix (it works on silverblue quite well. there is a guide for it)

conflicted with silverblue
fedora silverblue is good if you want a reliable system. you can also get traditional package management by using containers from distrobox or toolbox or you can use nix on silverblue

Does anyone else use the nix package manager on silverblue?
I find it quite useful for silverblue. I can install packages user wide or system wide without the need to layer packages. It gives me a mutable eviroment while keeping the core system safe. Proot isn't available for fedora but it is available with nix so I can have proot system wide with nix which is not possible with podman. Applications with nix start way faster than starting a podman container. It is quite useful. only downside is that you need to set SELinux to permissive (which really isn't an issue for me) there is a guide for installing nix on silverblue too.

I think the nix package manager should be in the official repositories or at least in copr.
Installing nix, you would have to disable selinux and if you use silverblue, you have to do these extra steps. it would be nice if all you got to do is type sudo dnf install nix (or sudo rpm-ostree install nix if you are on silverblue) and it would automaticly add selinux policies and automaticly have the .desktop files in ~/.nix-profile/share/applications or ~/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/share/applications for system wide automaticly show up in the DE launcher and also have sudo work with nix better. it should also work for workstation and silverblue too.

How stable is Fedora workstation compared to Silverblue ?
maybe install it on toolbox, distrobox, or even nix if you want to install something that isn't a flatpak. nix is good for installing other terminals, shells, and fetch programs so I don't need to layer. it also supports user wide and system wide packages. only downside is that you need to disable selinux.

Day 15 with silverblue, loving how rock stable the whole system feels! Exactly the kind of distro i've always wanted.
you should give nix on silverbluea try

What's great about Fedora?
here is a guide to install it on silverblue https://gitlab.com/ahayzen/silverblue-nix

Well, technically...
the nice thing is you can install nix package manager on other distros. it is very useful to use different shells and using neofetch without layering on silverblue. there is a guide for it

NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon” Released
Never mind traditional package managers... you plug it in right, you can run Nix on Silverblue!

NixOS people will prefer NixOS, but Silverblue seems like a nice complement to Nix if you need an FHS base system and want to retain some Nix-ish features like rollbacks and atomic upgrades.
