I wanted to use Nix on Mac, but the only supported setup is the one that puts a persistent daemon in the background, which just doesn't sit well with me for a package manager – something that I use maybe once a month, maybe even less. I don't understand why they didn't go with setuid.
> Devbox is a command-line tool that lets you easily create isolated shells for development
it uses nix, and they just added
`devbox global`
> Devbox Global allows you to add packages to a global devbox.json. This is useful for installing a standard set of tools you want to use across multiple Devbox Projects. You can also use Devbox Global to install and manage packages on your Host OS, as a substitute for tools like brew or apt-get.
