How does it stack up against traditional package management and others like AUR and Nix?

    Except on NixOS, where it’s possible to install packages declaratively.

    Why only use nix on nixos?

      You’re right. I’ve never tried installing a wm with Nix on another distro, but it should be possible.

        Half of the packages on my system are debian, the other half is nix. It’s a really good combo, and home-manager makes it easy.
