But nix exists
-
I'm sure nix is great once you learn it. Most people will not, if this can be simpler and somewhat robust it absolutely has a use axe.
-
This is simpler because it uses YAML for packaging software instead of its own language like Nix.
Also it has a lot of features and what I consider one of the main features is it's dependencies, you can specify a dependency from a selection from +30 package managers instead of recreating the packages for Zoi.
For more info please refer to the docs
-
There is also devbox which abstracts away all the nixiness of Nix. Having alternatives is always good though.
-
home manager is as easy as pie. You don't have to use the OS to use nix, the package manager. It's a little bit unfortunate that everything is called nix
