Nix Super

It's Nix, but super!

This is an upstream-tracking fork of Nix that includes various patches, some controversial in nature and not fit for Nix upstream.

Some of the patches included are:

  • nix-flake-default from nix-dram
  • enable-all-experimental from the old nixExperimental
  • Full thunk evaluation in flake inputs
  • Some UI improvements
  • New subcommands
    • nix system for managing NixOS, as a replacement for nixos-rebuild
    • nix home for managing home-manager configurations, as a replacement for the home-manager CLI tool
