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.
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
