Is there a way to get it so that UI applications installed with Nix show up in Spotlight Search? I remember that being my big annoyance when I tried using Nix instead of Homebrew on MacOS.



Yeah, if you use a module system like Nix-Darwin or Home Manager: https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/1341#is...

(Hopefully comparable modules are on their way onto the defaults for each of those module systems)


Oh, I wouldn't know (my Mac is a dumb terminal for testing and nothing else). They should have appropriate .desktop files for their Linux counterparts, though.
