Project mention: Tracexec: TUI for tracing execve and pre-exec behavior | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-08This will drop you into a shell where `tracexec` is installed.
[1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/310158
Project mention: Turn Your Android Tablet into an IDE with VSCode and Nix | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-14There is also nix-on-droid[1] which is a fork of Termux allowing you to manage your environment with nix (similar to home-manager[2])

Nix (https://nix.dev/) can provide all of this, although in a smarter way than just through dumping everything in the VCS. Some projects use it already to provide a reproducible development environment and if done right a clean build is just a `nix-build` away.
Project mention: Can rustc generate identical binaries, with the same hash, from the same souce code? | /r/rust | 2023-06-25
Pro-tip: use https://github.com/nix-community/nixpkgs-wayland if you want Nvidia support and more frequently updating versions over nixpkgs.
Project mention: NixOS-generators – Collection of VM and Container disk image builders for NixOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-26I’ve found it most helpful to review other people’s configurations to learn Nix.
Some specific ones I really like:
https://github.com/malob/nixpkgs
https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
I keep a not comprehensive GitHub Stars list of Nix stuff I find here if you want more:
https://github.com/stars/heywoodlh/lists/nix
If you aren’t familiar, Nix-Darwin allows you to codify your MacOS deployments in a fashion comparable to NixOS. As a huge Nix-Darwin user myself, I have found malob’s repo extremely helpful for ideas with MacOS configuration. Nix-Darwin has made me so happy as a MacOS user. :)
Some other unsolicited tips:
1. Start with Nix flakes for configuration
2. Invest in Home-Manager before NixOS or Nix-Darwin
3. Ask people for help in Matrix or Discourse — my experience is that Nix-related folk are very welcoming and understanding
Good luck!
