    Nobody is forcing you to install system applications on NixOS. I use flatpaks on it all the time

      I hate flatpacks worse than I hate snap

      I spent their better part of two days wourth of spare time trying to get OBS and flat packs to take plugins.

      To be honest, I only install stuff that I use everyday and randomly. For anything that’s part of a certain project or subsystem either use nix develop or nix shell.

      I have one that activates kdenlive, makes YTDLP available, FFmpeg, MPV, and then when I exit that shell all that stuff is no longer linked.

      Likewise I have oodles of rust and python projects that only bring into being what they need to get the work done.

        Nah, I hate snap much more. Can’t even install the normal version is Firefox anymore on Ubuntu without hunting online for an installer
