A review of Nix/NixOS after using it on all my machines for three years. I'll cover what works, what doesn't, and why it's the first OS that's stuck with me.

        This command will just run an executable file on nix. Normally only executables which are installed from the package manager will work.

        appimage-run is another option. Which can be used to run, you guessed it, appimages

          But appimages will complain about unmet dependencies, so usually they don’t work

            I haven’t had any issues thus far. But I have not used a lot of appimages. Usually I can find everything in nixpkgs, and those that I didn’t all worked with appimages.
