From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Supac - a declarative package manager written in Rust, scriptable in nushell

Supac is a declarative package manager written in Rust fully scriptable in nushell. It's meant to make it easy to use the native package managers in existing distros without going through the associated headaches of using Nix, while maintaining the ergonomics of structured data in nushell.

Currently supported backends are:

Archlinux and derivatives

flatpak

cargo/cargo-binstall

uvx (packages only for now)

rustup toolchains

I daily drive it, and it works well. Feel free to give it a try!

Honestly I'd consider using this in combination with NixOS just for the flatpak support

[–] innocentz3r0@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

Haha, fair enough. The reason I even created this in the first place was because of how painful nix/nixOS is to use in general. Nushell is far simpler, and much more ergonomic to deal with. Especially with how much it supports structured data.
