What's the advantage of NixOS? The thing about package isolation to overcome dependency issues sounds attractive but surely that comes with at least some kind of disadvantage.

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

The disadvantage is there's no global libraries. If you want to run a plain executable you need to steam-run it instead of just launching it and it will create an environment similar to Ubuntu

The advantage is you just run things and they work. I heard there was some packaging issue with hyprland because of different library versions, but it never affected NixOS because there's no global library
